A pleasingly warming beer with it's amber hue showing off it's rich malt heritage. Mildly bittered with a smooth hop flavor complementing the malt. Winter Skal makes a person welcome the onslaught of the cold. Available November through January.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a clear amber color with a one finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Nice lacing. Has a light toasted malt aroma. Flavor is also light toasted malt. Medium body. Nothing exciting about this beer, but nothing bad about it. Thanks Bill and Wendy

Amber pour with some fading off-white head. Watery nose with a hint of malt. Rancid watery malt body with no hops.

BustedFlat (554) - Edina, Minnesota, USA - APR 6, 2007
Poured from 12 ounce bottle into a shaker glass, amber with a small quickly dissipating head. The aroma was of malt and hops. The taste was a nice balance of sweet malt and grassy hops. Overall very nice for the style.

This is a first Skål for me. Comparing to other Skål will be a bit challenging. I now have a starting point to compare. Straight from a bottle, it pours a dark copper, with a nice white head. Very nice balanced aroma of malt and nuts with some floral hops.. Good malt flavor of bread and then nut, with mild bitterness. It finishes with a slight spice and caramel aftertaste. A definite late winter (Wisconsin February) brew!

JorisPPattyn (6428) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - MAR 17, 2007
Foxy-orange, clear beer with small yellowish head. Grapey nose, with some hops, white wine, sugars, a bit cookies malt, quite restrained. Malty, cookies, bit of caramel, sweet bread, and just a hint at hops (quite neutral ones, while the malts are essentialy sweet). BIt roasted taste, but no burning coming over in the MF. Medium bodied, a bit liqueurish-slick in texture. Technically well-made, but there’s so little to enjoy. A beer for the technicians and the sales, rather than for the geeks - American Proef? Thanks, David.

Very filtered ber - copper in color and barely a head at all, just some white bubbles....Bready, malty, dry aroma - easy to drink and it goes down pretty smoothly, but the finish is actually too sweet. It tastes like toasted bread kind of.

notalush (3617) - Denver, Colorado, USA - MAR 9, 2007
Bottlefrom Ughsmash (thanks!) - copper body with a tiny ring of lace - weak, herbal aroma, with a light, doughy sweetness - lightly sweet, with hints of vegetable and a faint hop profile - lingering breadiness in the finish -fairly unimpressive.

Strong malty taste and a slightly sweet aroma. Amber in color with an off-white head
