Christmas Ale 2010. It's a little flat but is really good, full of raisin & old ale flavours with a good alcohol hit. A real treat.

I've managed to get some conditioning into my bottles from the last symposium. It's actually still very good & may benefit from another week or two in the bottle.

Christmas Ale 2013

No explosions this year! My opinion: a light ruby coloured 'cooking beer' with the slightest hint of caramel and a hoppy aftertaste. Not a typical winter warmer but enjoyable nonetheless. Goes down very quickly, on my second already.
