Can - listed as "Artillery Winter Ale," 9.2% abv and oak-aged, so perhaps a new entry with this one aliased? - if so, should probably be an American strong ale - pours dark amber - nose of fig, raisin, vanilla, brown sugar - low carbonation - flavor is similar to aroma - raisin, fig, date, tamarind, vanilla, toasted coconut - some notes of sherry - fairly sweet, but a moderate acidity cuts it - overall pretty good for what it is.

In the can @ home, picked up at Boulder Liquor Mart. Pours a dark orangish brown appearance with a thin brown head. The aroma is fairly herbal with some notes of flowers, chocolate, caramel, dark fruit, prunes, and a bit of nuts. Twangy, high boost flavor. Quite sweet. Some chocolate, celery, green pepper, brown sugar, and grass. Not sure if it’s faded but this doesn’t taste too hot. Maybe I’ll try this on tap at a later time.

On draught at the brewpub. This brew is a brownish-orange color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of burnt malt, caramel and hops. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, sweet caramel and a touch of dark chocolate. The finish is roasty with a bittersweet chocolate and hops aftertaste. Decent all around.

A red-brown beer with a small disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong fruity notes, and so is the flavor.

(draught) Very deep brown; dark-yellow head, stable and lacy. Very little nose, disappointing. Burnt tobacco & chocolate; sweetish but not cloying. Virtually no bitterness. Well-bodied, but much thinner texture. Alcohol remains well-hidden. This is disappointing, most of the Wynkoop range I had. What were they thinking of? Even for a brown ale, 8+ % ought to account for something.
