3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep copper with a medium head. Aroma is malty, toasted, and a bit of dark sugar. Medium to full body. Flavor has nice toasted malt, sweet, light caramel. Fits the bill for a winter ale but nothing more.

"like coors made it", thats all I could think when I was drinking this one. No imagination, no interesting take or unique flavors.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a dark copper with an off white head. Smells quite malty, sweet and grainy. Taste of semi sweet hops hitting first with the sweetness then bitterness. Malt dominates giving it a more regular beer type flavor and the warming feeling. Nothing to strong or complex but another great session brew by Longtrail.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a dark caramel color with an off-white head. Great lacing. Aroma of brown sugar, nuts, and honey. Flavor has toasted malt, caramel, and honey. A bit sweet and light for the style, but a nice drinking beer.

Served at a new place, Max and Leo’s, on the Newton rotary. Nice burnt umber color, toasty sugar aroma. It is semi-sweet with bitterness that escalates towards the finish. Medium body that feels heavier than it is.Thought this was more English than Scottish. Love that bear by the fire.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Again, weak lightly flavored beer but with no major flaws. Thin and malty. Not bad but boring and light On flavor

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Lighter for a scottish ale...needs to be a little bigger to be a winter warmer as the name suggests. Malty and caramelly with a slightly lingering finish. I thought it was OK, and I’d drink it again, but wouldn’t search it out.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cloudy dark amber/copper with a beige head. Clean sweet malty nose. Sweet, somewhat nutty start, with some mild underlying bitterness. Carbonation overpowers any smoothness.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Surprisingly good, an incredibly drinkable version of this variety. This is a great low-gravity scottish-lite, disguised as a winter brew. All the malty warmth is there, nothing distinctive but solid nonetheless.
