Common descriptors are
Our winter warmer pours a beautiful deep red (amber) almost reminiscent of a barleywine. The body is not overly heavy, but we’ve used dextrins to ensure a nice rich and full-bodied mouthfeel. Both the aroma and the initial sip on the palate boasts the senses of the Christmas season with lots of spicy citrus without being overly intense and obnoxious. This beer is balanced and easy drinking. You’ll also notice quite a bit of hop character in this beer from the aroma to the finish. The use of Chinook hops really brings out the piney-ness of this beer and serves to enhance the elements of the winter season. Lastly, and perhaps most important to the style, you’ll certainly feel a warming sensation as you enjoy this fantastic ale.
