Rich brown-amber with a medium head. Sweet malt nose. Alcohol-sharpish malt body. Flavours are a little unbalanced for me.

473ml can - a Winter Brew, made with demarara sugar, raisins, and spices. And at 7% ABV, the Christmas lights might not be the only thing 'all lit up'.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with three chubby fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent splattered paintball pattern lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of bready and doughy caramel malt, brown simple syrup, earthy cloves, faint metallic cinnamon, and some ethereal leafy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, baking sugar, muddled earthy seasonal spices, a touch of damp minerality, and more well-understated herbal, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-supporting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with nothing really getting in the way of a festively swell time here. It finishes off-dry, like a liquid Christmas cookie.
Overall - yup, this one delivers the goods, and in an even-handed manner, i.e. no spice thwack to the head. Balanced, not particularly sweet, and enjoyable to sip on whilst looking out at the foot of snow that fell over the course of a day and half. Ya know, winter?
