Dark Imperial Wit Ale brewed with Spices
Wassail is known for warmth and spices. Our rendition goes leaps and bounds beyond a traditional winter warmer, drawing inspiration from the dark, spiced ales from Belgium and our love for experimental brewing in SoCal. This dark imperial wit ale features spices to complement the spiced notes imparted from the yeast and prance upon the rich, dark fruited character of the specialty malts.

Poured from both a 750 ml bottle and the newer 375 ml bottle side by side. Aroma is spice forward with lots of coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg, anise and allspice. Light dark roast notes with toasted bread and a light nuttiness. Both bottles pour a dark brown, almost black with a large, thick, creamy, mocha head that recedes slowly. The head on the older bottle is a bit darker. Medium lacing and moderately long legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light roast, chocolate and toasted bread notes. Moderate bitterness and light alcohol spice. So much spice though. Tons of coriander, clove, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low,but present alcohol warmth. Overall, this isn't good at all. It has way too much spice and is what I assume licking a spice cabinet would taste like. I find these undrinkable and I can usually drink most beers.

30/XI/19 - sample @ Day 2 of Billies Craft Beer Festival 2019, BB: n/a - (2019-2037) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Aroma: very malty, grains, soft roast, bit of cardboard, some coffee, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty start, not bitter, very gentle roast, bit watery. Aftertaste: malty, lots of grains, hay, cow fodder, not my cup of tea.

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Festive winter spice aroma. Tastes of winter spice, dark fruit, ginger, cinnamon. Alcohol is hardly noticeable. Decent effort, my first Christmas beer of the season.

Bottled on 2017. Aging for almost 2,5 yers. Piwo ciemne jak noc na nie oswietlonej ulicy na wsi. Piana spora, bezowa, choc malo trwala, alez aromat, nuty iglaste, kolendra nawet sie nie zgubila wsrod tych 10-ciu dodatkow wyczuwalem ja mocno, cynamon rowniez, anyz i wiele innych, bardzo zbzikowane piwo i ciekawe smakowo, Przypominalo imperialnego portera, Moc alkoholu nie zauwazalna, nie bylo ciezkie, doskonale do indyka z zapiekana cukinia. Nie tylko na swieta i od swieta. polecam na kazda okazje lub po ciezkim dniu pracy, doskonale regeneruje i wzmacnia i uzupelnia elektrolity.
