Wassale - ABV: 8%
Wassale is a warming, dark, seasonal beer from the Wincle Brewery, just outside Macclesfield in Cheshire.
Hints of Christmas spices (mainly cloves) on the nose with a deep, malty aroma that tempts you to dive in and taste.
And WHAT a taste.!!
Bags of malty, cinnamon flavours with well balanced hops with huge depth and complexity, but without too much of a dry aftertaste. This is a seasonal beer and a half.!

Combined with the beautiful Festive Buxton Pudding (thanks to Praze on Glossop High Street) the combination of flavours was truly amazing.!
I don't quite know whether it was the lovely company I was in at the time (which I know makes a difference), but this is one amazing beer with lovely, complex flavours - well recommended...
Verdict: 4.5/5
