I JUST realized how close it is to Christmas so I figured I'd better start drinking specialty beer that reminded me of the holidays, and Wychwood's Bah Humbug December seasonal 5% beer was too perfect. Plus I've been on such a UK bevy kick that this goes all too well.
Did you know that Wychwood has a seasonal beer PER MONTH? Yea! Check it. I am super excited to try April's Hot Chocolate, and July's Cherry Picker. Mmmmmmm hot choooooclate beer.
While perusing their site, I'd have to say I was super duper pleased. It really got into the "Brewers of character" (their tagline) spirit, and I felt like I was in the realm of the Wychwood forest, sipping forbidden ale and scouring the trees for an evil goblin... a Hob-goblin perhaps? Oh, lovers of Wychwood will get that reference :) And if you didn't - they have a beer called Hobgoblin.
Beer-wise, it had a semi-sweet taste that had the perfect amount of spice and cloves to it - when I said this was a Christmas spiced ale, I wasn't kidding. They know what their doing with taste v naming over there.
One fun fact is that Wychwood is of the same Marston family that my believed organic Duchy hails from. Those Marston's know a little something about good beer.
LL recco: Give'r a go this holiday season. Pop on The Pogues Fairytale of New York and open up some fresh, moist, fruit cake to go along with it.
