Commercial Description:
This unique seasonal beer offers the warmth of an old English pub to help ward off the chill of a winter’s night. It has its origins in British neighborhood pubs where villagers would gather to shake off the damp cold of the bitter English winter. They’d share a pint or two of winter warmer ale by the fire, catch up on local gossip, and stay inside, where it was warm. We’ve brewed our version in the tradition of those winter ales, with a robust, full-bodied flavor and a tangy hint of spices.

Deep mahogany pour with a creamy off white head and good lace. Earthy aroma of malt and hops. Some spice. A pretty good balance of malt and hops in the flavor. Woody and spicy as well. A bit nutty. Creamy palate and a malty finish.

Draft: Pours dark brown with a finger of creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Light aroma is roasty and a bit sweet. Tastes rich with roast and evena little burnt malt. Some toffee, caramel, and earthy notes. Nice.

Sweet roasted malt aroma, with an off-note of wheat. Small, creamy, off-white head..mostly lasting...leaves excellent lace. Dark reddish hue. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, long, dry finish with hints of oak. A pretty solid offering from a pretty solid brewery.

12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown color with reddish highlights and a one finger tan head that settles slowly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate, hints of coffee and toffee. Flavor is similarly sweet and malty with notes of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and hints of toffee and coffee. Generally light to medium body with a pleasing roasted malt finish. A little thin but generally good.

Bottle. Pours a dark body with thin head. Aroma is of toffee, chocolate, mocha, and a certain kind of hoppiness. Taste is of chocolate, light coffee and cream, lots of sweet malt. Very enjoyable beer.
