Mar 11, 2007 One shouldn’t need tools and a corkscrew to open a beer. Pours a dark amber with a tall bubbly/frothy head. A winter warmer with a malty dark bread flavor.

Feb 26, 2007 [132-20061209] Bottle (as Brassin D’Hiver). Wet dog smell along with hints of cherry candy. Amber body with a quick off-white head. Fruity sour cherry flavour with some sour apple too. Medium body, nice feel. Nice togetherness, good to repeat (unfortunate about the canine part).

Feb 26, 2007 Bottle,750 ml,(brassin d’hiver) Clear red-golden color with light brown head.Soft but steady carbonation. Nose of malt and some flower, maybe violette. Alcohol is well hidden in soft caramel taste, Really easy to drink. Delicious on a sunny febuary day. Somehow reminds me of Bass especially the aroma.

Feb 14, 2007 Drinking from a bottle of Saint Sylvester’s Flander’s Winter Ale: The body is a ruby brown capped with a modest yellowish tan head. The aroma is toffee, cherries, and peaches with a light floral sharpness. It has a caramel maltiness with fruit and a floral bitterness to finish it off. Clean finish. A good drink that hides its stronger alcohol content well. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Wine & Spirits, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Jan 16, 2007 Bottle - 750ml. Dark copper/ruby body with average carbonation and a huge beige/rusty frothy head. Aroma is dominated by hoppiness. It carries sweet hints and hides the alcohol pretty well. Its hoppy/malty taste is very well balanced. Some roasted cereals and caramel notes are detectable. It ends with a good bitter and warming finish. This is a good winter warmer.

Jan 10, 2007 Malty but light on the palate, I didn’t expect the sour cherry, clean aftertaste, but the high alcohol is noticable

Jan 6, 2007 Bottle: Courtesy of Styles. The aroma consists of sour cherryies with a hint of caramel. It pours a transparent orangish-red with a small white head. The flavor hs some light sour cherry up front with bitter woody finish. There’s some light yeastiness in the background. It seems pretty simple and not all that flavorful.
