December 4th - Weyerbacher Winter Ale
I gotta be honest, at first whiff, I had a flashback of last night's brew. I smelled spices, including those darn cloves again. I envisioned that awful taste wrecking my palate. Against my better judgment, since I have already committed by opening it, I took a sip and hoped for the best...
No cloves...no nutmeg...Thank GOD!
This Brown Ale style brew is a lower ABV from Weyerbacher (5.6%) in comparison to everything that I have had from them so far. The beer has some roasted notes that aren't too overpowering. It also pours very dark. Not quite that of a stout or porter, but it's not too far off. This beer drinks very smooth with a little warming taste at the end. I also get some caramel notes along with just a hint of spiciness (again, no cloves!).
Looking for more of a session-able beer to enjoy in the winter months? This may be for you!
