Commercial Description:
Examining the many varied examples to draw from I have designed a fantastic ale. What do I mean by bigger? Bigger in beer can refer to any of the major components of taste and appearance. So with the Winter Warmer we have ale that demonstrates: bigger taste, bigger maltiness, bigger bodily warming. Nine different malts give this ale a very complex flavor and a full mouth feel. Balancing out this malt character are the English hops and Kent Goldings; both considered to be the perfect English ale hops. Along with the hops, that lovely warming from the alcohol helps balance the bigger maltiness. All these factors ead to a surprisingly dry finish in ale that is dangerously easy to drink.

Slight but uneven head. No visible carbonation. Medium amber/red color, very clear. Aroma holds a spicy blend, not sure what it might be, but it smells like spices you might use to mull cider with. Malt sweetness mixes with these apple-spice flavors. I taste apple butter, pumpkin pie, and dark candy sweetness. No real hop flavors can be detected through this. Surprising. Definite nutmeg/pumpkin pie finish and aftertaste. Sweet caramel can also be detected here. Interesting and different...I was not expecting a spice beer. Sweet, though! Have this beer last, for sure.
