I have to be honest its up there as one of the least exciting ales I’ve seen on a shelf, as a result it was the last of the Marks & Spencer winter seasonal range to review.
It smells of fudge, toffee and crumbly brown sugar. The colour, well its not just brown, but a rather delightful caramel.
Big powerful malt to start, sweet, blending into more creamy fudge flavours coating the mouth. The middle has pockets of ripe fruit bursting through but not overpowering the initial creaminess, hints of hazelnut give a lovely depth of flavour. Gentle hopping at the end provides balance and fresh finish.
8/10 A wonderful sweet malty fudge of a beer. Great for all seasons, the pick of the range for me.
