L- Ultra-deep chestnut. Pours with thin tan head that swiftly clears to lacing.
S- Roasty-toasty with hints of coffee.
T- Boom, the taste follows the smell! A deep roasted flavour, with a feint hint of coffee, there is also a hint of deep dark fruit.
F- It has a depth and intensity plus a richness that is surprising from 'just' 5.0%. Blind-tasted I'd need little pursuading that it is say 6.0%.
O- I was rather cynical that a 5% beer could be described as a 'Winter warmer' but no longer. This absolutely is such, and ideal for anyone who wants all the flavour and impact of one without mega-ABV%. I can't find anything out of place or balance here at all. This is really impressive, and I'd very happily buy it again.
500ml bottle, bought from BeerOfEurope/UK. BBE: April-2020.
