COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A bottle conditioned version of Firebox with the addition of spice oils.
Pale malt, chocolate malt; Progress and Target hops; ginger, cloves, cinnamon, corriander, nutmeg, pimento. A dark, rich spicy bottle-conditioned ale, resonant with Christmas seasonal flavours and designed to take the chill off the coolest winter night.

Bottle from The Cave. Medium brown colour, big beige foamy head. Aroma of cinnamon, ginger & other spices. Spicy, fruity flavour, spicy aftertaste. Interesting & complex but a bit strong for me.

Ober (2125) - Bommelerwaard, NETHERLANDS - JUL 12, 2011
A clear orange/amber colored beer, with a thick foamy white ehad. The aroma is like perfume. There are fruits and sweet candy. The taste of sweet candies, a little bitter, perfume and a little spices. The aftertaste is some bitter with sweet.

Decent taste, standard color, but I really don’t like the herbs or spices I smell. Also low body, low carbo. Not very good.

Smell and colour are pretty nice on this one. Taste is kinda dissapointing though. Pretty average.

50cl bottle. Pours brown with a generous head and gentle bubbles. The nose is distinctly ginger biscuits and maybe a note of oranges on the end - very Christmas. The taste is of more spice, this time cinnamon as well as ginger as well as the background biscuit thing. The palate is medium to full in structure, there is a nice creamy texture in the middle section and it concludes not completely cleanly, but fairly well nonetheless. Overall, I’m drinking this in the summer (albeit a Scottish Summer) and this Christmas style ale is going down very well.
