Crafted on a backbone of premium Maris Otter malt, this traditional winter warmer is enriched with Crystal Rye and flaked oats for a velvety, medium-bodied mouthfeel. The nose opens with sophisticated earthy spice, giving way to a rich palate of luscious dark forest fruits and a delicate whisper of festive orange. At 27 IBU, the bitterness is perfectly restrained, allowing the deep, bready malts to take centre stage.
