Jun 19, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Pitfield’s Winter Warmer 2002 Vintage". Courtesy og chris_o. Pours a hazy, amber golden with a small, rough head. Very fruity aroma - strawberries?? Medium body with a soft and very flat feel to it. Very distinct strawberry accents - must be the mix of spices that somehow end op producing this flavour. 090507
