Mar 24, 2008 Very old school label. The beer is a nice amber-brass color, and has a yeasty-peat aroma (peasty-yeatsy?). Malty, well-hopped flavor. I was expecting some spices in this winter ale, but there were none. This is a tasteful ale with a natural feel - it could be / should be very popular.

Mar 21, 2008 This beer is the only Sam Smiths that turns me off. Aroma’s not bad. Biscuity, malty. Too sweet, malty, maple on the palate; a little sour maltiness at the end. Grass and caramel too. Unpleasant color, but probably just because I expect something darker from a winter brew. Not really sure what else to say.

Mar 20, 2008 Veyr nice one, it was a little bitter, but Samuel Smith’s is alwas a good brand. It has some orange peel aftertaste and some coffee small features. NIce foam and nice roasted barley taste.

Mar 17, 2008 Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome Ale is a very clear copper ale with a small, off-white head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is grainy, malty and a little sweet. Maple is present and it’s a bit tinny. It is medium-light bodied, smooth and pretty crisp. The flavor is sweet and full of maple. The bitterness comes in at the end and zips up the flavor. It is warming, syrupy and a touch boozy.

Mar 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Red amber, very small head which is gone in a hurry. Mild spice… full palate, somewhat dry. Fizzy in the mouth with a mild bitter finish, I think there’s some apple in there too. It’s the first beer I can remember with this type of fizz, definitely interesting though not great.

Mar 15, 2008 Amber in color with a decent head. Sweet and malty in the aroma. Both of those extend into the taste. I like the label, but not the clear bottle. Pretty decent.
