On tap.
Clear amber body with average, frothy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with virtually no lacing.
Light-to-moderate malty (caramel) aroma with notes of alcohol.
Light-to moderate sweet and light bitter flavour with some acidic notes.
Light-to-medium body with watery-to-oily texture; soft carbonation.

Simple, sweet, spicy and warm. Perfect beer for cozy autumn and winter. First sip always takes me back with nostalgia. Might be a bit too sweet for some.

L - nice color, ruby brown, clear; off white head that laces the glass well
S & T - smelled more like a lighter blonde ale or a pilsener, more grassy, light wheaty malty. But tasted more honey/brown castersugar sweet and pleasantly lightly roasted; like dark, whole grain graham cracker biscuits; with a generic bitterness finishing it off; slightly alcoholic.
F - pleasant on the tongue, good body, nothing to note
O - pleasant enough beer, but quite generic, and quite sweet.
I would recommend it to a sweet-tooth if there was nothing else interesting lying around...

Lovely amber colour with a beige head that fades fast. Smell of caramel and malt. Taste is malt and caramel again, with sweetness that is quite overwhelming. Tastes too much like artificial sweeteners to be exact. Quite drinkable, but it feels too much like drinking a softdrink to be honest.

Drinkable, but overly sweet and thin - poor attempt at the style.

A - Very dark amber colour with traces of ruby red running against the light. The head was short lived leaving only a fine cover and light spider web lacing.
S - Toffee buscuit malts with raisin, honey ginger and cinnamon aromas.
T - The taste is very close to the smell, the toffee smell here is clearly caramel and not toffee at all. There are still biscuit malts and plenty of raisin and cinnamon flavour. The bottle also mentions blueberry but to me the taste is closer to Damsons (a small dark plum) .
MF - Very creamy and full of itself. Light alcoholic tingle
O - This is really very good and goes down well making it is a pleasure to drink. The bottle raved about a lot of flavours and it was very accurate which is pleasing as I have had a lot of beers that made promises they failed to keep flavour wise. On the basis of honesty this beer deserves a 4!
