Commercial Description:
Although it’s named after our most famous weather event, this beer has nothing in common with the harsh bite of winter. In fact it’s smooth slightly chocolaty flavor helps you forget Jack Frost altogether. German pale and Munich malts form the base flavors with hints of chocolate and caramel. Very soft, floral German hops ease the finish into dryness. Available on draft and in bottles from November to March.

(bottle - 12 oz) Reddish brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma is lightly sweet with some roasted and smoked malts along with some caramel. Flavor is much the same. Begins with some caramel malts, some smoke, roasted malts, and a light bitter coffee finish. Smooth and sweet. Not bad.

2009-01-24. Dark red brown body is near headless. Flavour has a tangy quality to it, sweetish overall with light bitterness. (6+) Mild aroma, tangy malt, lightly nutty,vague hint at smoke/roast. (6+) Average palate. Meh, okay. Thanks to Mabel for pointing out I had not entered this! Bottle. Coles Rare Beer Fest, Buffalo.

[1969-20090124] Bottle. Floral grains and weird lake water malt aroma with mild chocolate hints. Clear, dark red body with a quick off-white foamy head. Grainy toasted bread (melba) floral flavour. Medium body. Fair.

Bottle (12oz). Clear deep mahogany pour with a large frothy tan head (4-). Sweet aroma, roast cereal grain and chocolate, floral and dry. The taste follows - sweet, but plenty of woody bitterness to even it out, more dry cocoa than in the nose. Light body, mild carbonation, slight alcohol warmth in the quick finish - sort of a powdery dry chocolate finish. Nice lighter winter drink.

On tap at brewery. Pours a clear deep brown body with a light tan frothy head. Nice roasted malty sweet aroma. Flavor is very similar with some mocha hints. Good fresh mouthfeel. Good beer.

Bottle. Pours red/brown with a beige head. Light roasted aroma with caramel, coffee, wood, and earth. Medium smooth body. Great malty flavor with roast, earth, tobacco, coffee grounds and burnt wood. Very nice.
