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.

Bottle shared at THT April. Almost black with dark beige head. Strong coriander, sweet malts, bread, orange peel, quite some spices, blue curaçao, light ginger, toffee, licorice, aniseed, light peppers. Quite sweet and medium bitter. Full bodied. Quite some spices, some balance from the strong sweet malts. Not bad but it gets old fast.

Sampled at Trails End. Pours dark brown, with a medium, dense, frothy, tan head. The aroma is apple pie, molasses, pecans, and orange peel. Sweet and fruity, with good spice. Medium body, with a syrupy, spicy, and oily mouthfeel. This is a fun and focused spiced beer. Very christmasy.

20th Feb 2018; Shrewsbury Beer Exchange Group meeting in Chez Sophie. 750 ml bottle from me (via the Dana Point Trader Joe's). Dark, slight haze, tanned topping. Herbal, spicy nose and taste; coriander and liquorice stood out for me, semi-sweet in the mouth, didn't like the late Ginger based heat in the finish. The score would have been higher if the Ginger wasn't there.

75cl bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Feb 18. Thanks to haddock for this. Pours hazy dark brown, small mocha head. Aroma has some confident spice, sweet. Taste is initially quite nice, dark sweet, almost dubbel-like and rich before being rapidly overtaken by spice-forward character on the back of the palate. Lots of assorted spices jostling for attention. Nice.
