A rich and complex old ale brewed for the festive season. A blend of speciality malts along with additions of mixed dried fruits and mixed candied peel produce a smooth and malty beer full of the fruity and dark-sugar flavours of fruitcakes and Christmas pudding

Cask. I think this one's brewed in Cricklade. Very dark brown with a cream coloured head.
A musty slightly sour aroma like an Old Ale should be.
A malty, ash like flavour.
A excellent soft cask conditioned feel with a dry finish.
A proper tasting OA.
