Winter ale is a big, bold, thick-bodied ale brewed with molasses and cinnamon. It has a creamy head, robust hue, and rich bold flavor. Best served at 45F in a sniffer glass.

looks like iced tea, head fades rapidly. smells like metallic beer with spices. nice rolling co2 in the glass. cinnamon fer sure and the mosaases makes it acceptable. co2 is present but not sizzling. i don’t like cinnamon beers per se but the molasses adds a unique flavor that blends well. bold it is, but it doesn’t seem to have much alky kick to it. finish is low alky molasses and spices.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber woth small tan head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a raisin malt and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a spiced malt with nutmeg and cinnamon. A decent spice brew from Rivertown.

Bottle. Clear, deep amber body with a frothy, off-white head, slowly diminishing. Spiced aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, with notes of caramel and toasted grain. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, watery turning sticky texture, moderate carbonation. The spice overpowers the other characteristics this beer may have making it pretty much a one-dimensional spice bomb. No thanks.

Thanks to JaBier for sharing a bottle. The beer is a clear reddish-amber color with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Small patches of lacing. Sweetly spicy aroma with notes of cinnamon and ginger plus some caramel. Medium body with flavors of cinnamon, malt and vanilla. The finish is sweet with honey and cinnamon left behind. Above average seasonal from Rivertown overall.
