Summit Winter Ale

tastes a little like a porter. scent of burnt roast and coffee and some molasses. taste is the same and is quite enjoyable. I would probably purchase this again.

12oz. brown bottle served in a shaker pint glass. Poured a deep brown with less than a finger of white head. Deep malty aroma, molasses and caramelized sugar. Rich malty flavor and mouthfeel. Plenty of caramel malt. Not a lot of hop bitterness, but enough to balance out the malt sweetness. Very easy drinking, solid beer.

My favorite of the strong ales. Buy up enough in November to last until it comes out again.....

A good winter brew. Dark in color with a somewhat bitter brown sugary body. Warms the insides. I like Summit, and this is their best seasonal in my mind.

Clear dark red, little head. Heavy fruit and medium crystal malt aroma. Nice soft large body. Extremely lacking in flavor. Just a bit of caramel and spice.

pours dark brown very little head. similar to a porter. light carbonation. strong malt coffee caramel flavors with a subtle sweetness in the finish. 12oz bottle.

Sampled at Food and Froth. Good. Exactly what it claims to be, nothing more, nothing less. Nice for a cold snowy night.

Found this one bottled as part of a Summit multipack at Binny’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Clear, very dark red pour with a thick, fluffy light brown head. Sweet, bready malty alcoholic nose. Strong, very malty, nutty, buttery, and a touch of bourbon. Soft but strong finish. This is a good beer from Summit.
