BridgePort Ebenezer Ale

Brewed by BridgePort Brewing (Gambrinus Company)
Style: English Strong Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

12 oz. bottle. Colour... amber with a thick head. Nose... spicy, nutty and malty. Palate... some malt and light hops with a little anise and spice.

This beer had a dark brown color with a soapy head atop the beer. Smells very malty and tastes malty as well. Not much spice going on in this beer which ups the drinkability for me. Not my favorite Bridgeport beer but one of the better winter warmers. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 11-26-2007 03:52:52

From the Jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 13/10/2007 Hop aroma. Bronze mid brown coloured with a passion fruit flavour. Crisp and slightly bitter pale malt finish.

Dark brown amber pour, fluffy big head, heavy lacing. Spicy fruity aroma. Fizzy, with a piny grapey flavor. Mouthfeel is thick and a little phlegmy, some spicy notes with a little bubblegum. Not bad, I’ll probably avoid in the future.

Pours a dark amber with a light creamy beige head. Smell is fairly mild but pleasant and some toasty, tart malt and earthy hops. Taste is mostly malty with some dark caramel and light holiday spices, but a light bitterness to balance. Still pretty smooth and flavorful with a light tart edge to it on the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Actually pretty good stuff.

Heavy malt flavors, mixed the obligatory spices and even a little fruit. A little hoppy, so not a sickening sweet winter, but nothing to write about.

Meh......another attempt to make a "winter" beer...another failure. I really think that making a beer that has a bunch of malt aroma/flavor should not automatically qualify as a winter beer.

Brown/amber, weak off-white head. Pretty light aromas. A little caramel, some spice, fresh fruits. Not much stands out on the tongue either. Crisp hoppiness though. Easy drinking (which is the only real compliment for sort of bland beers).
