"A bright copper-amber beer with moderate, persistent beige foam and a well-defined malt aroma with notes of caramel and toffee. Malt sweetness and baked bread crust persist on a medium-bodied palate with chestnut notes, with a dry, clean finish giving light alcohol warmth. A well-executed beer, notably bitter but within the limits for the style."

"Brown, well-formed head, slightly worty grainy aroma, umami, thick malty chewy palate w dark toffee and liquorice, bittering toasty finish, slightly minty and an odd sharp note that detracts from coating malt, but drinkable and satisfying Beautiful ruby hue, small white head that fades, rich caramel Christmas cake aroma, raisin stewed fruit flavor, hop bitterness faintly present but this is a sweet beer. Body is smooth, tastes higher ABV than it is. light brown , hazy, light brown dense head, low lasting , more roasted malty characters than toasty leads to be spicy Toasty flavours carried through the thread."
