Aug 19, 2005 Brown color with a full, bountiful head. Undeniable aroma of apple skins, pear and light spice. Enjoyable flavor of gummy fruits and caramel, with some oxidation.

Jul 16, 2005 Hazed orange-amber body. Pillowy manila head. Glass lace is pretty nice. The aroma is earthy with some very light spice. Quite muted. The flavor is sweet toffee light spice and some sourness. Over carbonated and ballons a bit in the mouth. Ok but quite boring.

Jul 14, 2005 (Bottle 25 cl) Reddish brown and filtered beer with a nice, dense head. Some smoky/burned malty notes. Neither sweet or full-bodied, rather dry and bitter. Unusual but interesting. 140599

Jul 12, 2005 Bottle. Nice lively looking clear amber ale with huge off-white head. Aroma is malty and caramel, with a suggestion of fresh yeast. Nice caramel/malty taste, slightly sour in the finish. Medium mouthfeel. Simple but nice. I don’t know what makes this a winter beer, but treating it as a misnomer helps in rating it.

May 29, 2005 Cloudy brownish orange with a small head. Aroma is mostly caramel and mild hops. Taste is even more caramel and vanilla. Not enough spiciness to make this a good winter beer. Kind of dull.

May 9, 2005 This one pours a nice golden brown with lots of big chunks of yeast. Not much head. Smells yeasty sour but pleasant.
Taste is really really sour and not in a good way. Bad yeast and skunky flavors. Fruity as well but with a really stale aftertaste. Medium bodied but with that oxidized aftertaste.
I would like to think that this is just an old, poorly cared-for bottle. A pleasant experience this beer was not. Uck.
