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.

Geary’s Pale Ale is one of my personal favorites, you just have to be in the mood. It may not be the best beer in the world but it is a damn good one and maybe I just have a lot of sentiments for Portland, Maine. Well enough about that let’s get to what you want to know about this beer that goes damn well with a fine lobster. This Pale Ale is a bit on the light side with a bit of citrus flavor thrown in. It is smooth with very little bitter kick after taste; which I am known for loving my bitter beers but it’s nice to be smooth every now and then. The drinkability of this beer is one more down and pass it around. Finishing a 6 of this is not a problem at all with it’s smooth non bitter taste. Fuck your normal beer and try this out!

Dead Guy is a German-style Maibock made by the company Rouge from Oregon. When you pour this exquisite beer into your favorite glass it comes out with a deep honey color. With your first smell you get a rich malty, and fruity aroma.
As you let the beer settle and you go for your first sip you are delighted with a smooth, sweet taste of malts and not as hoppy as you’d expect from the smell. Also you kind get a sensation of caramel with a little but nice addition of bitterness.
Now this beer is a great one for a night out doing whatever it is you do. This Dead Guy tastes great from the draught, the bottle hell it’s probably the best out of the 22oz. jug that it also comes in, that’s right a jug you can act like a fucking cowboy swigging your beer from a jug and then start yourself a nice jug band, or just nice and drunk off of it you decide.

As the winter is coming near you tend to start crave for your beer to bit a bit more dark, maybe a more of a chocolate or coffee type of stout for that warm and cozy feeling. May I make a suggestion on going with the great winter beer by Sierra Nevada called “Celebration Ale”. It is a beer high in hops, a strong aroma and the taste that just reminds you of the holidays, especially drunken times around the holidays with an ABV of 6.8%. This beer even looks great just sitting there in it’s pint glass with about a inch of foam that dissipates quickly. Once you have that delicious first sip you get a delight of a little bit of spice then quickly comes the after taste of a nice bitterness that is expected from the hop heads that love IPA’s. This beer goes great with a nice piece of ham or steak. So go out and buy a nice 6 pack, get shitty and try and enjoy the company of your family; or at least make it interesting this holiday.
