My first Christmas ale of 2026! A dark clear amber ale, coming across a little dank in appearance, it's nevertheless a decent seasonal, which is hoppy, dense, with a hint of spice, which in turn helps for a seasonal fruitiness towards the tropical side of things, but not quite.

One of several WC seasonal specials currently knocking about - I couldn't finish the Rocky Road one found a few days ago in Richmond. This dark ale isn't as rich as that one, although its heavy breadiness isn't overly appealing in terms of taste. It also negates the regular stout character in this one. Not quite black but good-looking.

I may get the urge to run up and down steps after drinking this. Heavy raspberry additions are not too appealing, taking away much of the regular stout and dark malt influences, giving it a towards sickly taste. Chocolate in aroma is probably its greatest feature.

On tap at Crewe Dg, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small scummy tan head and good lacing. There’s cream, chocolate and malts in the aroma. In the mouth it is decidedly sweet but with a little underlying sharpness. Flavour has roasted malts, milk chocolate, with hints of nuts and honeycomb coming later. Finish is a little fruity. This is decent enough, but even with all the flavours listed above, still seemed a little bland to me.

Much potation taking place here with every sip. Clear golden good-looking, soft smoothish cask texture, session style hoppiness which doesn't quite have a sweetness but seems to threaten one.

'Mad Friday' 2025 Beer#9. Ninth brew on one of the busiest drinking days of the year. Creamy subdued, but very tasty pine in both aroma and taste, providing a nice texture to this seasonal brew in name only. Hazy golden appearance.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham on 12th December 2025. Rated as a novelty ale. Clear dark ruby brown with diminishing, shallow foam and virtually no lacing. Spiced aroma of pines, resins, aniseed and magic marker ink/spraypaint. Spiced maltiness in-mouth with salient aniseed. Interesting finish with notes of Coca Cola, aniseed and cherry fruits. Light body and a smooth mouthfeel. A bit of fun, but half a pint was enough.
