Feb 1, 2009 This picture is a dude fly fishing on the front. Looks fairly pale yellow, perhaps a tad orangish. Smell is a little like hardtack candy with a metal background. Taste is a little strong, alky-ish. Has good carbonation on the palate. Flavor is a little unrefined for a Sammy. Spicy creamy between the tongue and roof of mouth feel. Leaves a fairly strong lingering feel on the back of the throat.

Jan 30, 2009 Sampled at Studioo 35 tasting: Amber pour with a wispy white head. Almost a cider-like quality to this beer, with a bit of bready caramel malt. I want to say a tad astringent.

Jan 30, 2009 Old Sam Smith’s winter welcome, this used to be a seasonal favorite of mine about 8-9 years ago and in the last couple years I have completely stopped drinking English ales altogether. This is a nice perfectly clear orange color. The smell is bread and the slightest hint of vinegar. The flavor is more malt and again a note of vinegar. While this is not offensive it is still not something I seek out, just average. I wonder why I liked it so much back in the day?

Jan 27, 2009 Not a bad winter ale, if fairly standard. Amber colored with a frothy white head. Aroma is malt, spices, and some fruit. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, apples, spices, and some English hop bitterness. Well-rounded and somewhat warming.
