Draught from the Mark Bar. Poured dark brown. Smallish to nothing head. Malty smoky oaky. Pretty decent stuff.

Notes from March 2011 Bottle from New Beer. One last winter warmer before spring rolls in. Poured into the lopsided SA Perfect Pint glass that I have yet to return. Pretty cascade effect down the waist of the glass. Thin, bubbly inch of tan head. Clear, black tea body. Light chocolate on the nose. Sweet cream & subtle fruit. Faint grain & perceived bitterness. Potent alcohol. Biscuit sweetness upfront, plus some suspected lactose sugar. Small amount of dark chocolate. Slight leafy, lingering bitterness. Tea-like tannins. Oxidation. Maybe some coffee that wasn't there before. Non-medicinal. I wouldn't have picked this out as a wassail in a blind tasting(no advertised spices on their website). Feel is pretty light & thin. Carbonation is about right. Frothy. Not grainy. Alcohol is fine. An easy winter warmer. Would of potentially enjoyed more traditional spices, but that often doesn't end well.

0.355l bottle thanks to Cristobal37. Dark copper body with a thin white head. Huge biscuit notes in the aroma with some spicy hops, caramel, nutmeg and raisins. Taste of toast, caramel, raisins, orange zest, spicy hops and gingerbread cookie. Nice one.

12 oz bottle into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip glass on 8th Jan 2018, while on holiday in California. Dark mahogany body, beige crown on top. Malts to the fore here, in both the nose and taste, sweet malty molasses with caramel and light coffee flavours blend together nicely before a mild hop finish. My sweet tooth really took to it.

Bottle. Clear deep amber color, thick tan head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of burnt caramel. Taste is earthy toasted caramel. Warming.

Merry Christmas Everyone! 皆さんメリークリスマース！ Enjoying a Full Sail Wassail 7.2% winter ale It pours a deep inky black with a surprisingly sweet candied fruit aroma. Fairly full bodied this beer delivers candied fruits, citrusy hops, malty biscotti and some nuts with a dash of cinnamon and possibly allspice. Quite sweet but nice.

On tap at Trumpeter Public House, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out Christmas spices, bready malt and a touch of caramel. Flavour is dominated by the Christmas spices, with dry bready malt on the back. Not the most thrilling winter ale - too much spice for my taste. It's okay.
