Our winter ale will warm your winter with a round toasty body and a vibrant finish of Cascade, Willamette, Fuggles and Goldings hops. A rich ale, this award-winning classic ages well -- enjoy its complexity and earthy oakness long after the snow has melted away.

This is like two beers in one. Very malty up front (fruity, caramel and a little bit sour). The finish is bitter and hoppy to the point that it makes you forget about the beginning.

(Bottle) Pours a large, beige, foamy head with a deep red body. Nose of cascade and goldings hops. Slight lactic flavour. Very malty with a chocolate undertone. Good. Many thanks to Argo0 for giving this to me!

Deep, clear, reddish brown appearance. Muted aroma with a spicy, somewhat nutty flavor. Well carbonated. Bitter, hoppy finish.

A deep ruby brown, almost stout-like. Malt was heavy on the chocolate side, sweetness well balanced by hops and spices.

Opaque black with moderate head. Lightly spiced -- molasses, toffee, toast -- with a hint of hop bitterness and a vague peppery overtone. Not bad.

Bottle. Looks good in a glass, dark brown with red highlights when held to the light and a creamy off-white head. Aroma is like honey roasted malts with abundant winter spices and some floral hops. Flavor is sweet and smooth with a little bite of nutmeg and clove and a bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation make this one an all around pleasant winter ale.

Really nice color and head. Nice variety and depth in the smells and taste. I enjoyed this and was pleased to find it. I dout I'll run across it again, but wouldn't turn it down.

Poured a reddish copper color with a medium sizes off white head and some lacing. Weak aroma of fruit, malt, and hops. Taste of caramel maltiness, some bittering hops at the end. I tried to find more, but this was just average. Very drinkable however, thanks for hooking me up argo0!
