I will note that the ABV (6%) is a tad low for what I prefer for a Winter Warmer, but that's OK. It drinks far easier than other Winter Warmers/Holiday beers that I have had. This is obviously a beer that has had some spices added instead of the other way 'round. The spices are noticeable, but not overpowering, and they do blend with malts nicely. Overall: Winter warmers and spiced ales/beers aren't really my thing, but this one isn't too bad. Things finish with the spices (primarily nutmeg with cinnamon and cloves added in). As the cinnamon (and ginger) declines, the nutmeg comes forward. The cinnamon is up front along with ginger, but these quickly give way to the malts and candy. Taste: Very similar to how the beer smells. The spices do dominate the aroma, but they don't really get out of hand. When we first introduced this beer, lets just say that people werent exactly sure what to make of. A good undercurrent of malt, including darker malts (ie, dark bread) and even some toasted ones. The head lasted for quite some time, leaving excellent lacing on the glass.Īroma: Noticeable but not overwhelming note of spices - cinnamon primarily with some ginger and a touch of cloves. A smooth, medium bodied ale spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. There is no aromatic hop added that might overpower the distinct spice scent. It was designed to be enjoyed during the holiday season.
