The Independent's 10 best winter ales
O'Hanlon's Thomas Hardy's Ale (11.7%) - £3.49
"Brewed 40 years ago as a one-off for a literary festival in Dorchester, this is now an annual vintage strong ale. It's a complex beer dominated by malt and dark fruits but with notes of old leather, fresh tobacco and tangy hop resins. Buy two and keep one for several years to watch it develop."
