Nothing crazy just a good solid winter ale. Nice color and I’ll definitely consider this one again.

I love the winter seasonals, and this doesnt disappoint. Sweet sugar and just a touch of spices make this very drinkable, without any single flavor overpowering. Also, the bottle is pretty cool, which I am always a sucker for. Wouldnt want to drink a bunch of these, but perfect for dessert.

Pleasant, thirst-quenching-fairly neutral, almost watery. Thin mouth feel, but lively carbonation. Quite pretty color-ruddy brown.

Good overall Strong Ale, Nothing "outstanding" about this one, but it is very drinkable. Piney Malt taste. Pours a Amber Orange. I would drink this one on occasions.

Bottle given to me for my B-day from my neighbors. Pours orange amber with an off white head. Faint aroma of caramel and spice. Medium bodied with somewhat prickly carbonation. Initial flavor of caramel and cinnamon, with some spicy hops to balance things out mid palate. Moderate sweetness. Finish has just a hint of dryness. As with most exported British Ales, this probably much better fresh or on tap.

Bottle. Nice festive feel to the label. Pours reddish with a light head and a malty piney aroma. Taste is much the same, nice balance of hops and malt. Very nice.

550 ml bottle. Clear and very pale orange-brown with a nice slightly off-white head. Sweet malt aroma of dull licorice. Mediumj body and very smooth. Pretty strong malty character--slightly burnt carmel and sweet pine. Finish is hearty malts that linger. Good but I expected more from a Sam Smith.
