Commercial Description:
This special edition Winter Ale is a smooth, full-bodied Oatmeal Stout. A rich blend of roasted barley and chocolate malts imparts wonderful coffee and chocolate flavors and aromas. The soft creaminess of this ale comes from the generous amounts of Warrior and East Kent Golding hops.

Bottle. Small fizzy light brown head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, opaque, and a dark brown hue. The nose was malty, chocolate, roasty, some hops and some coffee. Ditto for the flavor. The mouthfeel was mostly smooth and slightly tingly. Medium-full bodied. A good and nicely balanced beer, not complex, easy to drink, and worthy of a try.

Bottle. Pours a pitch black color, perfectly-formed cocoa-tan fluffy head, with wet dripping lacing. Big roasted oats in the nose, caramel, nougat, chocolate, Goobers, and coffee. Huge chocolate presence in the flavor, with that Goober feel, coffee, caramel, honey, and a great aftertaste that’s real roasty. Very smooth, thick body, sticky mouthfeel, and very creamy. Enjoyed it.
