Summit Winter Ale

large foamy head with a very dark brown pour. mild rosted malt nose is no warning for what your about to taste. Sweet roasted malt flavor that lingers into a slight bitterness at the end. One of these before bed will help with those long winters naps. Very nice.

A nice English strong ale. Better than most of this style though at 5.9% I wouldn’t consider this too "strong". Aroma was decent. Sweet dark malts with a roastiness to it. Pour was beautiful. A deep dark brown that you can’t see through with a flashlight (no head). Taste was old and semi sweet. A hint of chocolate and dark/caramel malts throughout with no carbonation to bring out the flavors. This has that unexplainable "something" that makes it taste like winter. Nice beer.

On draft at Durty Nellie’s. Pour was dark brown with some ruby hues. The aroma was sweet fruity candy (it was actually reminiscient of something from child hood, but I can’t remember which specific candy), with chocolate mostly supporting it underneath. The flavor was also sweet and fruity, some cherries perhaps, chocolate, nuts, even faint coffee grounds in the finish. Mouthfeel was full and a little on the sticky side. Not bad, but nothing to write home about, a bit too cloying.

Drught at pub in Ida Noyes. Pours dark brown with nice tan head. Aroma is coffee, caramel. Flavor is coffee, nutty and roast, very sweet. Seems a little out of balance and a bit thin. Nothing special but goes down easy.

Poured deep amber with a tan head. Aroma -- roast malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Taste was mainly roast malt and iced mocha. Sweet without much bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel. Not as fancy as some winter brews, but very well done. I will definitely try this one again.

Pours a deep copper with tan head, small lacing. Aroma is nutty and a bit of bread. Flavor is creamy, nutty, and finishes with a light coffee taste. Medium bodied, very easy drinking.

The beer has a nice aroma and is a nice dark brown upon pouring. Overall this is a nice easy Winter beer to drink.

Poured from a bottle. Poured a deep brown color with ruby highlights and a thin light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, a hint of caramel, and some spice. Flavor begins with chocolate malt and some roastiness and then finishes with a tangy hint of spice, just like the commercial description says. A bit thin considering the style. A decent beer.
