Blue Moon Winter Ale

Having to smuggle this one from Denver and Chicago, put the effort in on this one. Perhaps the best flavored micro I have ever drank. The taste is sweet, slightly nutty and is incredibly smooth. This is a beer to sit down with and share with friends.

Bottle. Deep amber in color with a tan head. Smelled of nuts and slightly caramel. Lightly carbonated and tastes of mild vanilla. Fantastic beer! A few local establishments even ran out around the holidays!!

This beer poured a copper color with a light brown head that was two fingers high. The smell was of roasted nuts. The mouthfeel is a mild carbonation and smooth. The taste is of cinnamon and nuts that is freaking good. It is very easy to drink and I will drink a lot of them. Open bar dude!

From the bottle purchased at a Madison, WI liquor store. This was a very, very good beer. Nice toasted bread in the nose. I smelled sweet biscuits as well. The flavor is what really stood out to me. At first I thought it was caramel, but after a few more tastes I decided it was butterscotch. It’s not overpowering, but instead seemed like a really interesting and bold change of pace from your typical winter beers. I’m not a fan of the standard Blue Moon ale, but you can place their Winter Ale next to their Pumpkin Ale as my favorite Blue Moon beers. I would recommend this beer to anyone who doesn’t like standard beer or is eager to sample new and different flavors in beer.

Good mouth feel little thickness, molasses smell, with a syupy taste. A very blunt flavor with maple syrup finish, best way to describe would be waffle crisp cereal with hint of beer.

Had this beer on 11/26/2006. Aroma is faint with a roasted scent. Color is a deep gold with very good carbonation and thick head. Taste is sweet, nutty and clean. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish starts with a sweet slightly roasted flavor that builds to a mild nut taste and a faint bitterness. It has a nice nutty holiday feel to it that males it perfect for Winter.

Pours a dark roasted amber. So much caramel, cookie dough, and nutmeg. Its a real sweet desert beer. It hits the Winter season dead on.

Nice amber color with a white head that really froffs up. With your first taste, the back of your throat is head with a rather strong taste of vanilla but not too strong. Really quite a smooth brew.
