Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - December to February.
Atlas Brewery's winter beer, Blizzard, is a rich golden 4.7%, with a distinct warming spiciness and a dry hoppy aftertaste.
The beer is brewed with a combination of four different malts and three different hops. This provides a sophisticated balance of different aromas and flavours to tickle the tastebuds and warm the toes through the winter months.

<i>Cask Conditioned at The Castle, Furnival St., London</i>
Dark amber color; thin frothy head. Aroma of caramel and toffee, old meat. Caramel flavor, light residual sweetness, but the buttery touch tastes like old meat. Correct bitterness. Weird, not good.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Dark amber. Buttery, piney spice aroma, really rather appealing. Sweet taste with some nutty spiciness and perhaps some orange. Slight bitterness. I really liked this.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden brown with a little off-white head. Mild fruity and slight nutty aroma. Flavour has the same in a rather vibrant cask pour. Slight acidic note mixing in with a mild bitterness towards the end. Gains some more strength in bitterness along the way.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A dark nut-brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of nuts and toffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruit, nuts, toffee, and citrusy hops, as well as a light touch of diacethyl.
