Rich and fruity. Not very bitter at all. Quite aromatic.

Maris otter malts, Crystal malt, Oat malt, chocolate malt. Its not bad. I could have a few.

Yes, it's a gimmicky name (which still had me tittering like a schoolboy), but this is a 'real' real ale. Itchen M'baubels is for life, not just for Christmas. Now, where did I put that irritable-skin cream....
