A very sweet, malty nose. Deep copper, with a small toffee head. Flavours are malty fruitiness, nutty too. Really fine mouthfeel. Well balanced, softly sweet. Lovely! Thank You Radek and Carolyne.

Only got to have one sip of this, but what I had was quite good. Very smooth and drinkable. Great spicey malty flavor with a bit of hops.

Bottle. Poured clear amber with some head. Aroma of light spiciness, mild hops, mellow malts and subtle citrus. Theres an alcohol taste that made me think it’s higher than the 5.9% posted here. Additional falvors of chocolate and a malt extract to go along with white pepper and clove.

Dark brown, nearly black colored with a small creamy head. Medium malt nose. Light malt taste. Not much going on here but average beer.

Beautiful clear mahogany with a beige head. Aroma of toasty malt, lightly floral hops and a hint of alcohol. Taste has notes of roasty malt, chocolate, wood, caramel, dark fruit and a solid dose of hops. Perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness. Very full, round and creamy on the palate. Good head retention. Very satisfying brew.

A decent brew. Similar to the Weyerbacher Winter. A decent ale. Tastes even better as it warms.

Deep rich color, average beer aroma. (creative, aren’t I?). I expected it to taste similar to other winter brews (because I have so many to compare to), but it doesn’t. I can see the "winteriness" of it though. Not really spicy or anything, but it is full tasting, and what I would classify as "my type of beer". A bit on the metallicky side, though.
