This winter ale out pours dark like a cola, then you go in for your first smell and you get the aroma of cocoa and hops. It’s a magnificent combination. Once you feel you’re ready for your first sip you get more of porter taste on your palate that is combined well with hints of that cocoa that you smelled earlier. Then as you progress with your drinking this winter ale you get more and more of a coffee taste. This beer is not a personal favorite of mine but it is beer that gives you a nice break from the mundane taste of your normal beers. If you get a chance to try this I would highly suggest it at least once; especially since it’s cold outside and nothing like a winter ale to warm you up for an exciting night.
