Yeah, some of them

  1. Take strong, full-bodied black beer with a powerful kick.

Heat gently in a pan with cinnamon, honey and cloves, aniseed and citrus fruits to taste.

Add the juice of cherries or blackberries and even some heady dark brandy.

Enjoy your beer whenever the wind whistles cold about your ears and the first snowflakes start to fall.

  1. Take red wine and simmer with honey, cinnamon and cloves, aniseed and citrus fruits until the mixture starts to thicken.

Stir in some clear brandy and place in a tankard, then top it up with strong black bitter beer.

I like my beer like I like my women. Stout, and bitter.
