Plumduff

|

This one is a Christmas special from the Wychwood brewery. They call it a “seasonal brew with plum and spice” but we all know it’s just a marketing ploy to cash in on the primary gifting period.

It has a rich malt aroma and it tastes of Christmas. Either that or an average dark ale with a hint of spiced fruit. Well, “average” may be a bit too harsh (it is a nice ale) but it isn’t really anything special. It’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Christmas special, which is exactly what I wanted when I chose it. Hooray.

It has goblins with a Christmas pudding on the label and it’s 5.0% ABV.
