Rockin Robin

Another entry in the Christmas beer collection. Again this is the result of collaboration between Staffordshire Brewery and Cottage Delight Fine Foods. This time a darker Amber Ale named Rockin Robin, the Robin being a Christmas related bird in England.

 

This was quite a different beer than the Grumpy Santa from the day before. It was a winter ale, which to me is a dark but spicey beer. This beer was certainly dark, although not really spicey. It was actually more chocolately along the lines of a porter. A good porter. I can see a pint of this being just the thing in a snowy countryside pub at winter.
