AleSmith YuleSmith (Winter) Imperial Red Ale

Thanks ericandersnavy. Great strong aroma right off the bat. Slight alcohol, honey and bread. Warming. Really nice spicy aftertaste. I love it.

Not what I was expecting. Aroma was partially balanced but flavor was hop dominant and did not go well with my holiday meal. Very bitter and lingered quite a bit. Ɠ-Reminder)

Bottle courtesy of ericandersnavy. Clear red pour with a healthy head. Very hoppy smell with a belgian sweet aroma. Taste is nice with a fair level of hops. Has a dry burn on the finish that provides a tasty finish.

22 oz. bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Muddy reddish-brown pour with a creamy off-white head. Big hop aroma of grapefruit, tangerines, and apricot. Flavor does not disappoint; big, bitter hops balanced with some toffee sweetness. Having sampled this in late summer to early fall this is at least 10 months old. At this point it is very close to barley wine territory. It’s an outstanding beer (does this brewery make bad beers?). Would love to try this fresh but the bottle I had was incredible.

This was absolutely amazing. Picked up in a trade with Corby112. Slightly cloudy amber color with a thin off white head. Really sweet, fruity smell, a lot of darker fruit aroma. Tasted a lot of what I smelled, sweet malts and dark fruit flavors. Very delicious. A little bit syrupy towards the end but very drinkable. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more of this.

Color is orange brown. Aroma and taste is deep and flourishing with with balanced spices and roast malt, hops, A very nice not christmas but "more" experience.

Great hop aromas. Excellent spicy hop flavors. This is an awesone beer. I can’t even fathom how it would taste fresh as this had some time on it and it was fantasic!

Bottle. Huge head with nice duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are rich with plum, raisin, nuts, spices, caramel, roast malt, hops, flowers and alcohol notes. A real Wauw experience.
