Commercial Description:
Our winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnuts, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Cellarable for 2 years.

Pours a deep mahogany brown w/ a medium sized semi creamy froth. Froth is spattered and recedes slowly to reveal a fine canopy surounded by a complete wall of lace. Aromas of thick malted caramel and cocoa. Full nectar w/ soft residual effers. If there ever was a seductive brew, this is it. Full yet soft and lucious mouthfeel w/ bold yet refined flavors. The hop profile is intricately weaved throughout holding it all together like only a good woman can. Malty w/ ample caramel, cocoa, slight roasted coffee and vanilla bean. Theres a slight nutty flavor that reveals itself as she warms. The finish is juicy and hangs around for a while w/ a perfect bittering of the asprin sort. Overall: a well balanced brew of a sensuous nature. Theres nothing about this brew thats short of true classic. Connoisseurs Choice! Highly Recommended.

I have had this beer in many different vintages, though it is great after and 2-3 year cellaring I’m reviewing the one I tried a day of the bottling line. It pours a dark brown/amber with a small tan head. Aromas of light floral and chocolate, toffee, roasty burnt caramel and coffee. A full palate of dark fruits, chocolate malt, caramel, espresso, and some roasted nuttiness. Slightly dry finish, one of the best winter warmers. Aging brings out more bourbon, alcohol, and port flavors.

dark mahogany color, small tn head, good lacing. Aroma is very nutty, notes of hazelnuts, plums, freash baked raisin bread. Wow, i could smell this all day, such a beautiful aroma. Flavour is malty, with again, a good amount of nutty flavours. Lots of hazelnut, and some almond. NIce bready notes in the finish with some ripe fruit. Wow, this is an incredible beeer! I love this!

Dark mahogany with big, creamy tan head / Big nose of toffee and raisins / Full, moderately syrupy body with a spritz on the strong finish / Flavors of toffee, raisins, nuts, coffee, wine, and chocolate / Great balance and finish. A stunner from these masters of monster ales.

Oh what a beautiful beer. Deep mahogany with a creamy tan head that laces down the side of my glass. The aroma is sweet and nutty with a touch of pine. The initial flavor is sweet, typical of a great Old Ale, but then finishes with a light hoppiness. I love the alcohol rush that accompanies this beer, much like a great, rich wine. It is a very relaxing beer and very drinkable. On my Twelve Beers of Christmas 2004 List! Bottle
