Hand pulled pint into a UK sleeve at the excellent ‘Maypole’, Cambridge.
Dark brown with hints of ruby red when caught by the light: on top I had a wispy covering and collar of off-white foam. The head let the look down a little, but what was there at the start held on until the end of the pint.
Malty aroma with some dried prunes, nuts and brown toast like smells.
The taste was very malty, roasted, toasted malts again with prunes and nuts in the mix. OK without being startling or fantastic. The 5.5% ABV sat nicely within the mouthfeel, semi-rich but not creamy in body, lacked a punch or that sparkle to set it apart from other Christmas offering from the UK.
