Commercial Description:
St. Benedict of Nursia lived in the late 5th to early 6th centuries. Legend has it while living in solitude, he was befriended by a raven that later saved his life. He is most remembered for writing the Rule of St. Benedict that, among other virtues, teaches humility. Inspired by this Rule we humbly offer St. Benedict’s Winter Ale, a hand-crafted ale using generous amounts of dark roasted malts and the finest noble hops for a robust warming flavor.

Poured dark amber, almost brown with a decent off-white head. Some lacing. The aroma was malts, winter type spices like clove, ginger and cinnamon and some tart citrus. The flavor was more of the same. Clove and cinnamon over malt and thin hops. Mouthfeel was on the dry side. A pretty average winter warmer.

nice color, not much head, smells of malts and spices. not much lacing on the glass, smooth on the palate Very interesting flavor, but I had a hard time picking out distinct flavors other than malt, and maybe cinnamon notes. Overall, I thought that this was a good winter ale

Pours a clear amber color with virtually no head. Aroma of banana/bubble gum and brown sugar. Similar taste with a little bit of cinnamon and hops. Not a bad beer but it’s a little too sweet.

pours a reddish copper colour with a thin head. Aroma is flat malt, honey, plum and toffee. Flavour is not great. Thin body, flavour of fruit and molassess. Some caramel , cheap wine alc tones. I didn’t particularly care for this one.

I quite like this beer. It has a malty roasted and sweet aroma with floral hints. The beer is clear and a deep dark brown without much head to speak of. The flavor is nice, almost like a weizenbock, with roasty malt flavors and bananna & clove hints. The palate is smooth and the beer is very easy drinking for all the flavor.

Sampled from bottle: This beer pours a clear dark reddish colour with a very small thin amber head. The beer carries a very pleasent aroma. Dates, honey, carmel and apricots. Has flavors of grapes, carmel, toffee and honey. Medium bodied, doesn’t represent a dubbel as much as it could. But still tastey.

Clean dark red pour with a medium head. A bit stinky first smell but that goes away after drinking it. Very sweet with a lot of character, like molasses and caramel, ginger and clove with just a bit of wine fruit taste. Good beer but rich. one is enough.
