Style: English Strong Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

warming and soothing, nice for winter. not so strong as a strong ale usually.

Bottle. Poured dark amber clear, with a beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, toasted malt, nice spicey earthy hops, light nut. Taste is similarly toastey, withsweet malt, and nice bitter hop finish. Hops are a little more forward than other "winter ale"s. Mouth is medium bodied and well carbonated. Overall, a solid brew.

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was a clear, cider amber with a thin beige head. Nose was rock candy, hops, bubble gum, and a bit of spice. Taste is hoppy and bitter with a light sweet taste that creeps in, to linger along with the bitterness. Not crazy about this one. It’s not terrible, but when a beer is this bitter, there has to be a lot more going on before I can truly enjoy it. I would pick this over Budweiser, but that is not saying much.

Amber pour with thin white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Malty, spicy flavor- leaves a nice spice aftrtasate. A little bitter. O.K.

355 ml bottle. Finland.
Clear copper colour with small off-white head. Sweetish spiced aroma with some maltiness. Ashy bitter hoppiness with notes of nuts, caramel and some spices. Decent seasonal brew but once a year is enough.

12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass produced a thick, off-white head with beautiful clear amber body. Sweet malty smell. Taste was slightly sweet with hints of citrus and a medium hop finish that lingered on your tongue.

Pours a beautiful clear amber with a thick, creamy, foamy head with some lacing. Aroma is sharp and of grains, coriander, malt and citrus(rasp). Taste is very bitter, but also a bit sweet. Unique and different indeed. Not my favorite, but worthy of credit. Medium carbonation. Quite short bitter finish.

Grainy aroma. Clear orange color with a small white head. Bitter beginning that builds until the finish and slowly fades in the end.
