Susan and I went to a holiday party last night and picked up a mix-a-six pack at a Stop and Shop in Manchester, NH (I was impressed that they actually did that). The two beers I tried that were new to me were Saranac’s Winter Wassail and Scotch Ale. While I can’t give a full review of them (drank them out of the bottle), I will say this. The Winter Wassail is a good winter beer. Lots of spice flavor mixed in without taking away from the fact that it is a beer. It was brewed in an English style, meaning nothing really over the top, but that was perfect. Great blend of cinnamon and nutmeg mixed in. The Scotch Ale was decent, but nothing spectacular. I will try to pick up a Winter Wassail sometime in the near future and give it the review it deserves, drinking it out of a glass.
