Commercial Description:
With the onset of winter, the brewer’s mind turns to providing warmth. For our winter seasonal, Southern Tier offers Old Man Winter Ale, a rich and complex amalgam of hops and barley that will put the feeling back in your toes and lift your spirits above the snow. Old Man Winter throws a deep and inviting hue with a thickness that clings to the glass and the warmth of an open flame. Because of its high alcohol content, Old Man Winter is a heady brew that encourages sipping and pondering its essential richness. Drink it fresh now, or cellar some bottles to see how this old man becomes wiser with age.

Pours a dark mahogany/copper with a light tan head. Aromas of citrus hops, grapefruit, slightly masked roasted malts, and caramel. Flavor is citrus hops and grapefruit upfront then goes to a nicely balanced caramel and slight roasted malts. Somewhat dry, bitter, semi sweet. I wouldn’t mind aging some of these but I went through the 6 pack already:(

Bottle. Had this sometime ago. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Chewy malty body with hints of chocolate and dark fruit, plum and some lighter cinnamon like spices. Great brew.

Very nice well hopped aroma of caramel, pine needles, and oranges. Clear dark orange, thin head, some lacing. Lots of orange and orange peel. There’s a hint of clove that turns to nutmeg in the end. Not as potent as advertised, but the alcohol is detectable. A nice holiday beer.

12 oz. Clear deep copper with a lasting half-inch of foam. Aromas of resin, caramel, and spicy citrus. Tastes of caramel, resin, orange, toasted pecan and walnut, earthy tea leaf, and oak. Medium bodied and smoothly carbonated, with a nice dryness throughout.

Poured a dark copper color, and had a sweet flowery aroma. The hops are definitely the showcase of this beer, but they were balanced very well by the malts. Probably my favorite of the Winter Seasonals, way to go Southern Tier!

This amber pour has a spicy and hoppy aroma to it. Sweet barley flavor with a touch of roasted malt and spice. It is light and smooth but packs a punch. A nice winter ale.
