Jan 23, 2008 Updated: Jan 27, 2008Hard to really identify the aroma on this. Flavor is dominated by a sweet character, Also, not real easy to identify the flavor right now. Roasty, maybe some chocolate. Nice, but not their best. But not too over-spiced like most Christmas ales.

Dec 30, 2005 Pours a foamy brown head on a dark brown body. Lots of malt and spices in the aroma with notes of chocolate and a hint of alcohol. Malty flavor as well with quite a strong tone of alcohol. Caramel, orange and spices also and some bitterness in the finish. A typical Belgian style ale, not too innovative but well done.

Mar 20, 2007 bottled as winter ale. tall rocky dark tan head. body is blackish chestnut, opaque, and lighter brown at edges. aroma is roasted malt, roasted brazil nuts, and licorice. flavor is roasted licorice malt, some chocolate malt and faint dried fig. yes this tastes like a baltic porter, quite different than a typical winter ale but that’s ok. bitter roasty finish.

Mar 9, 2007 1pt .9oz bottle labeled Winter Ale. Poured a dark/deep reddish-brown color with a larged sized tan head. Aromas of bread, roast, chocolate, and I’m getting some spiciness. Tastes of roast, chocolate, dark fruits, caramel, and a trace of brown sugar. Alcohol well hidden. Interesting. When I dumped the last of the bottle in my glass, in came a bunch of large chunky floaters (or should I call them sinkers).
