Decent drink, but nothing overly special. It has a nice malty aroma, a malty taste with a subtle hoppiness mixed in, and a slight spicy note leading to a subtle sweet finish, but with a bitter aftertaste. It's an enjoyable drink and a good session ale that's totally quaffable. Overall, it's smooth and easy-drinking, but yet again, it suffers from the usual JDW curse.

Typical Xmas time fruit flavours of raisins & sultanas in this malty & well balanced Ale

Quite fruity and malty bitter
