| Dubbel | | 29 Dec 2008 | I really don't 'get' Youngs beers. This is one of their better efforts I suppose but, despite being fresh as a daisy, really wasn't anything to write home about. There are a wealth of better winter warmers out there IMHO. |

| Ian | | 22 Nov 2008 | Funny, I was looking at my entries for this beer only a couple of days ago. One of my favourite winter warmer beers, but this was more liquoricey than I remember. A steal at £2.50 a pint. Maybe its the first time they have brewed this at the new plant. |

| Ian | | 14 Jan 2006 | Choc malts, deep flavours, warm attractive. Benefits from not being too dark and therefore having burnt roast malt. Touch of liquorice and stunningly good |
| Ian | | 13 Feb 2005 | Dark brown/ruby beer with rich malty fruit and brown sugar flavour. Hoppy spiciness on the end. Splendid to keep you warm |

| Ian | | 03 Jan 2006 | One of my real favourite winter beers. Lots of rich fruit and chocolate malts. Smooth in the mouth and kicks a punch at the end although you can't really taste the alcohol. Gorgeous stuff, but I really must limit myself to only halves of this especially on an empty stomach. I was a bit wayward on the way back to the station. |
