Feb 2, 2006 Well done strong ale, with lots of good malt and hop character. Brewed with ringwood yeast, giving the beer that distinct earthiness, and buttery notes of diacetal, that is appropriate in British beer styles. Wizzard Winter Ale pours to a beautiful, bright, deep amber color, with a thick and creamy white head, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose s excellent, with good aromas of pale and caramel malt, paried with some earthy yeast aroma, and some grassy hop aroma. The palate is firm with good pale and stewed malt flavor, paired with hints of butter, and some earthy yeast flavor. The Wizzard finishes with more good malt and yeast flavor up front, then ends with a nice punch of grassy hop bitterness that lingers. A hearty and tasty winter brew, this beer would work well with soups and stews, and makes a good after work drink.

Nov 14, 2007 Beautiful deep copper color with a thick white head. MAlty arom with a touch of hops. Toasted malt and carmel come through before the hop bittereness kicks in, Very complex medium mouth feel beer. One of the best "Winter" ales out there.

May 17, 2002 Very generous head, subtle fruitiness, well-rounded flavor. Very easy to drink, you might forget it’s a ’strong ale.’ Crisp finish.

Nov 17, 2003 very nice and true to style, dark amber, resembles Young's Special London Ale. Excellent balance, crisp. Lots of Fuggles and Goldings? Alcohol just faintly emerges. Glad I bought a sixpack

Feb 17, 2006 Cask at Mahars. Nice little bit of a bitter hoppiness, some what orange-rind in a good way. Aroma is not overbearing from the cask, but that’s typical of a cask beer.

Dec 15, 2001 Clear deep brown, nice beige head, and lots of lace. Sweet fruity nose and Ringwood yeast is quite noticeable, malts also right there. Start sweet, middle creamy fresh, and a quite pleasant bitter almost dry finish. Thanks Venom
