Great Lakes Brewing Winter Ale

750ml bottle from LCBO. Very nice copper colour with creamy head. Light spicy flavour. Aftertaste like a bitter.

750 ml bottle sampled at Grand River Brewing tasting. Pours dark amber in colour, some head, leaving little lacing behind. Medium carbonation. Not much aroma, maybe cardomon? Light spicy flaour, some ginger and strong cinnamon taste. Light for a winter ale.

On tap at Beer Bistro, Toronto. Lighter amber pour. Aroma os Christmas spices, cinnamon, nutmeg etc. Borders on over spicing here but doesn t quite get there. Nice easy drinking winter ale

Great amber colour with spicy aromas. Taste is orange with cinnamon and spices. Great beer for a cold blistery day.

Bottle courtesy of matt7215. Pours mahogany with a white head. Smells of dark fruit, citrus, light spice. Tastes sweet and spicy with some peppery hints on the finish.

750ml bottle from LCBO. fresh snow calls for this beer. a warming aroma of cinnamon and orange. I highly recommend this beer during any canadian blizzard.

750ml bottle from the LCBO The aroma is amazing sweet and spicy smells like Christmas cloves cinnamon honey and orange Pours a nice dark coppery brown with a small tan head Now it is really too bad it does not taste as good as it smells having said that it is still not bad it is a little thin the finish and a bit too flowery for me

Christmas-pudding-like dark brown. Aromas of cinnamon, raisin, honey, ginger ale and brown sugar. Palate initially begins rich and warm, but cools off quickly and finishes a little watery and thin. Flavour begins with spice-infused brown sugar, leading to a mild alcohol bitterness and a disappointingly short finish. A good brew, but a bigger malt body and finish would have really helped fill this out better.
