Pours an inviting chestnut colour with a fine off-white head and pungent fruity aroma. Lightly hopped, the intense flavour is of dried fruit, sherry, banana, pear, cake spice and festive pastry. Only traditional brewing ingredients are used, with the combination of malts and fermentation profile giving rise to a seductive, warming beer that’s refreshing and quaffable. The finish is dry, long and lingering; the perfect partner to a mince pie or hunk of stilton.
