COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Yeeow! Especially for the holidays, a brown ale with real attitude! The malts used to make Warm Welcome are roasted to give a hearty amber-brown color and a warm, rounded nutty taste. This fine ale is dedicated to all you curious brew-lovers out there who ever had serious questions about Santa’s supposed arrival by way of the chimney. (How does he do that, anyway?)

Aroma is a little hoppy with spice and caramel notes. Pours copper colored with a white head that clings to the glass. Taste is caramel and spice with a nutty flavor with a dry slightly hoppy finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jaghana (2828) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - MAR 15, 2013
Bottle 50cl, a clear copper beer, nose is on caramel. Aroma is on vanilla, caramel, floral, nutty, burnt caramel, dark bitter chocolate, light peach. Finish is hopy with a long dry caramel aftertaste, drinkable.

harrisoni (10909) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - FEB 18, 2013
Bottle from Terre de Boisson, Calais. Clear mid brown beer with lasting beige head. Mid malty aroma. It’s like a normal brown bitter but it’s 6% but it doesn’t taste it. Weird. I mean it has all the hallmarks of a basic brown bitter, some yeast, some malt, some sting on finish. A little bit of alcohol is apparent on the finish. Very light everywhere else. I mean it tastes like a 3.6% abv bitter. It would be nicer if the flavour matched the alcohol. Weird. Ok, but doesn’t quite fit together.

Braudog (5025) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JAN 21, 2013
Bottle. More of an amber color than brown ... the head is an impressive pile of rolling foam. The aroma is oddly shallow and metallic. This drinks with a distinct nutty flavor, suitable for a pre-dinner snack all by itself. (#4929, 1/21/2013)

dynamiteninja (1113) - Richmond, North Yorkshire, ENGLAND - JAN 5, 2013
Bottle. Medium white head. Amber body tinged with black malt. Nose is candied fruits, spice, black malt, nuts. Sweet. Dry finish.

DrinkEmUpJones (951) - Georgia, USA - DEC 31, 2012
Clear amber orange with sticky white lacing. Candied nut aroma. Fruitcake and ginger flavours on a bright palate. More effervescence than I would expect on a nut brown ale. I like this beer, but it doesn’t really fit the flavour profile.

tyler_durden (113) - ITALY - DEC 25, 2012
UPDATED: JAN 22, 2013 Bottle @ astral beers. It pours with a huge beige head on top. Nut and malt with a good bitterness. Very good

Draft. Hazy golden color, thick white edge head. Aroma of slightly boozy malt. Taste is similar.

larsniclas (4981) - Billdal, SWEDEN - DEC 15, 2012
Bottled at Flying barrel Deep golden with a small head. Loads of buttery toffee in the aroma. Some hint of red berries in the flavour. Slightly vinous.
