Commercial Description:
A CBC favorite since 1992, our Winter seasonal beer returns to the taps with its traditionally big, robust maltiness offset by aggressive hop character. This deep copper-colored ale boasts notes of rich malt and caramel with a hint of roasted malt in the finish, plus tons of Columbus, Cascade, Centennials, and Amarillo hops to lend their citrus-spice-floral hop flavors. Drink up and be somebody! OG: 1.066 FG: 1.014

Pours a clear copper color with am off white head. Aroma is caramel, crystal malt, toast, toffee, floral, and a hint of citrus. Flavor is malty, toast, caramel, some crystal malt, toast, and a nice bitter earthy floral finish.

I kinda missed the point of this one. Like a really tart version of Arrogant Bastard. Actually, tastes like a very young Barleywine, like the one I had at the Brewer’s Den that one time. Nose is acidic, flavor is acidic fruit and tart malt. Not really much balance.
