English, Christmas Beers 2019, Part Two

Following on from part one, next we have part two, again these are just the English Beers, remember we still have Germany and Belgium to come. Maybe move on to the German beers next.

Hogs Back, Advent Ale from England

 

4.4% black in colour with no head, a fruity aroma and a fruity caramel malt taste.

Samuel Smith's, Winter Welcome Ale 2019/2020 from England

 

6.0% deep amber in colour with a thin head, fruity malt aroma, slightly bitter with malt, toffee, fruit and hops taste. One of my favorites had it many times over the 30 years.

Hatherwood, Winter Special from England

 

5.0% amber in colour with a poor head, it had a sweet spicy aroma, the taste was a sweet fruity enjoyable christmas drink.

Cotleigh, Red Nose Reinbeer from England

 

5.0% deep amber in colour with a good head, a fruity toffee aroma and the taste was very similar.

Still more to come.
