Commercial Description:
Our winter ale will warm your winter with a round toasty body and a vibrant finish of Cascade, Willamette, Fuggles and Goldings hops. A rich ale, this award-winning classic ages well -- enjoy its complexity and earthy oakness long after the snow has melted away.

A Winter beer I look forward to, top notch, robust and rich. A real belly warmer, great malt and hop spicyness that makes me want more each year.

Much better than I expected, for some reason. Powerful, oaky, roasty, and malty, with some floral hops on top. Mahogany colored, with sparse head. This is excellent in a brandy snifter. (Why is it that snifters are awful for brandy but good for strong ale?)

Pours beautifully leaving a full, tan colored head atop a lovely copper body. Aroma is complex featuring malty sweet smells and fresh aromatic hops. The flavor is rich and warming. A very pleasing winter warmer with which to curl up next to the fire. Carbonation is natural and not overbearing. The flavor just keeps coming sip after sip as the ale warms. Alcoholic kick is apparent after just a few sips. Very nicely done

This is more in tune with a Scottish Ale rather than a Strong Ale. Nice deep amber hue, little head, sweet malty flavors and quite pleasing. A very good beer that I will be revisiting over and over during the cooler months.

One of my favorite winter ales. This will really warm you up on a cold night.
