Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome Ale

Bottle. Pours a brassy color with a medium eggshell head. Aroma is mainly malt with a hint of hops and earth. Taste is smooth filled with malt and not enough on the hops. Not bad.

Bottle. Dark copper color with moderate off-white head. Strong nutty aroma with notes of malt and spices. Strong red ale taste with extremely nutty finish. Not too bad.

A softy ale that drinks the way cream head floats. Very round and blunt and fits nicely in your mouth without a tingle or pucker. Not a winter ale at all in the sense of winter-warmer american-strong but instead incredibly easy. It’s the silent-strong personality of an ale that treats you nice in sessions. I’d imagine this beer wears a pea coat and has a silky churned butter smooth accent. Had many a many of these.

Very old school label. The beer is a nice amber-brass color, and has a yeasty-peat aroma (peasty-yeatsy?). Malty, well-hopped flavor. I was expecting some spices in this winter ale, but there were none. This is a tasteful ale with a natural feel - it could be / should be very popular.

This beer is the only Sam Smiths that turns me off. Aroma’s not bad. Biscuity, malty. Too sweet, malty, maple on the palate; a little sour maltiness at the end. Grass and caramel too. Unpleasant color, but probably just because I expect something darker from a winter brew. Not really sure what else to say.

Veyr nice one, it was a little bitter, but Samuel Smith’s is alwas a good brand. It has some orange peel aftertaste and some coffee small features. NIce foam and nice roasted barley taste.

Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome Ale is a very clear copper ale with a small, off-white head that leaves nice lacing. The aroma is grainy, malty and a little sweet. Maple is present and it’s a bit tinny. It is medium-light bodied, smooth and pretty crisp. The flavor is sweet and full of maple. The bitterness comes in at the end and zips up the flavor. It is warming, syrupy and a touch boozy.

Brilliant reddish amber, some straw head. Serious malty aroma. Bready, bisuity sweet. Sweet, somewhat flat taste. Alcoholic. Some bitterness. Spicy, alcoholic, quite bubbly, somewhate cloying.
