Every year I get it. And it still is consistently, one of my favorite beers TheGent (149), , Massachusetts, USA

Nothing really made this seem any more fit for winter than most of Sam’s other offerings. bw1982 (77), , Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 12, 2009 Bottle pour. Deep amber color, smallish white head, which did stick around rather well considereing how small it was. The aromas are mainly bread and malt. The flavor is deep and a little on the sweet side. Very smooth and silky on the palate. I definitely enjoyed drinking this beer, as I do with most of teh Samuel Smith offerings. bigguns22 (106), Maryland, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Pours a light amber with minimal white head.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Updated: Apr 5, 2009Crushed with CaryTheDude and JakeBra. Not sure I’d call this an english strong ale, or a winter warmer. Kind of a vaguely hoppy aroma, with a bad ESB taste. Kind of weak. Maybe its the seaweed.
