Jun 24, 2008 Bottled, 500ml, filtered. Dark brown, red with short malty head. It says spiced ale on the label and that is exactly what you get, loads of it, the nutmeg is particularly dominant in the flavour, but a healthy chunk of cinnamon too. There is a tarry, burnt note to the whole thing. I’m sorry to say I didn’t get it really as a beer, but then again it’s probably not aimed at me.

Feb 10, 2008 Bottle. Nose of cream, apples, cloves, nutmeg and other spices. Pours a dark brown beer with a small white head. Taste is primarily spicy, with ginger, apple, malt, hops finishing with a metallic note. When all is said and done, it is not very beer like and more like a mulled wine.

Dec 14, 2007 (Cask at Jerusalem Tavern, Farringdon, London, 28 Nov 2007) Black colour with ruby notes, brief beige head. Roasted, spicy nose with notes of cinamon, ginger, nutmeg and dark fruit. Roasted, almost tarry taste with spices, ashes, cinamon, nutmeg and dried fruit. Rather sweet, almost cloying finish. Very tasty and spicy, but hardly balanced.
