Very nice pour - dark with a chocolate brown head. Toasty. Charcoaly and burnt toast taste to it - which overwhelms the beer. If it perhaps had a smoother texture or some other taste blended in, then perhaps I would appreciate the taste more.

Jan 6, 2009 Sweet chocolatiness greets the nose as you bring a pint of Stone Cat Winter Lager to your lips. This beer is dark brown with a quickly disappearing head. The consistency is thick and syrapy - nearly like a stout. Not much carbonation. Caramel, toffee, and brown sugar flavors grace the tongue. A great dark lager.

Apr 18, 2007 12oz bottle poured into glass. Kinda middle of the road. Really kinda light and flavorless for a winter lager. Dont taste any spices or flavors other than the malted barley. Thin.

Nov 28, 2004 Dark color, deep brown/near black. Small, toasted, creamy head. Aroma of deep coffee and espresso notes, nice roastiness that follows on the palate. Medium body. Warm greeting of hops on the tongue, and a full ballast of smooth malt. Bit of an awkward finish, with an odd metallic tinge. Carbonation seems high, too. A passable ale, but among the lesser ranks of winter brews. Actually, the site calls it a schwarzbier, and the label says it’s a winter ale. Which is it?

Jan 23, 2004 Deep ruby body, small creamy tan head. Sweet doughy aroma, some smokiness. Flavor is malty but thin. Mostly sweet with a lingering light bitterness.
