Available for a limited time at selected Wetherspoon outlets this Christmas.
Brewed with East Anglian Pale Ale, Chocolate and Amber malts and hopped with Boadicea and Chinook. Yuletide has a dry spicy finish and grapefruit bitterness. It’s a wonderful dark ruby winter warmer with a good balance of flavours and a lingering dryish after palate that keeps you coming back for more.

Cask at Granite City. It pours clear mahogany brown with a thick, creamy beige head. The nose is toasty, wood, varnish, caramel, dried cranberry and nut. The taste is bitter, wood, leather, dried berry, caramel, toasty, but, earth and nut with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, creamy carbonation. Balanced and easy going stuff.

Dark red brown colour. Aroma and flavour have a rich, sweet fruitiness similar to those of a fruity red wine or port.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Reddish chestnut with a thin beige head; rich malty aroma; smooth, dry and malty in the mouth, with a touch of treacle giving a slightly sweeter finish. Good stuff.

[Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading] Chestnut in hue with a moderate creamy beige head & a light fizz. Woody up front followed by a little treacle & some chocolatey malt. A little plum sourness & a light but growing bitterness in the finish. A decent, well-balanced beer.

Cask, half at JDWs Angel. Dark amber body to a naked surface. Dark malty smell added by e touch of wet leaves. Dark malty taste, semi-sweet, together with herbal hops leading to a smooth malt roasted bitter ending. Fine with the Sunday roast dinner (London, 25.11.2012).

Cask @ Moon undet Water, Hounslow
Aroma is quite light with some malts and nuts. Flavour has harsh malts, some toffee. Nutty and dry finish with some lingering hops in the aftertaste. A bit thin, especially for christmas beer.
