COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Toffee brown, medium-bodied, with a creamy head and an aroma of raisins and freshly baked dark bread. Mild Winter’s rich caramel malt and spicy rye flavors are sure to take the bite out of whatever Old Man Winter brews up for you this year.

Clear dark brown color, tan head. Sweet, malty scent, some roasted notes. Sweet, roasted, cream, minty fresh taste. Moussy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.
I’d drink it again, it is very nice!

Dark brown with a minor beige head (that persists for a while). Smokey, roasted malt nose...maybe a little fresh baked bread, but all scents are far from overpowering. Smooth and creamy start before carbonation takes over. Disappointingly, not as much flavor as I expected. Slightly bitter roasted grain taste which slowly fades.

355ml bottle. Pours a dark orange brown with a large head. Aroma is smoked bacon, leather and a little spicy. Taste has a spicy leather start, with some mild smoked bacon on the finish.

Draft. Creay head that had nice retention, off white/tan. Nice rasion aroma with a slight malt backing. Very soft medium body beer. Malt forward, slight malt sweetness with a hint of caramel. Excellent beer. Nice mild winter seasonal.

Clear dark amber pour with long-lasting bubbly white head. Malty aroma of biscuit with some toffee and fruit notes. Taste is in line with the aroma, some caramel and fruit with a mild rye spice on the finish. Pretty straightforward malty winter ale, but the rye notes add a little interest. Enjoyable, but nothing special.

This beer was horrible. I bought a 6 pack ~ $11.00. I tasted the beer and instantly I was repulsed. The taste reminded me of coffee that was burned from sitting on the heat too long with a twist of black licorice & pine. I would also suggest that you do not drink it while serving pizza. It did not go well at all. I would never buy this again and I am going to try give these away to my friends that drink Busch. I think they would appreciate it’s rotten flavor because of the pricetag.

Caramel, brown sugar and toffee tastes, with hints of dark fruit. This is a nice winter warmer beer.
