This delicately balanced Strong Ale starts with dark copper color mixed with slight reddish hues and a light tan head. Big malty aroma with a Munich character give way to a slight caramel & toffee mixed with spicy noble hop aroma, all wrapped together with a medium-bodied mouth feel. German malt flavor profile with slight roasty notes give Pray for Snow a subtle toffee sweetness balanced with spicy hop bitterness and slight alcohol warming. Served appropriately in a classic snifter.

Bottle. Roasty caramel/brown sugar malt aroma. Clear deep chestnut with a moderate beige head. Burnt sugar, black licorice, and bitter herbal hops flavor. Medium body, soft carbonation. I hate black licorice, so I realize this isn’t one of my most objective rates.

Bottle as shown thanks to Alex. Pours a cloudy brown orange with small frothy white head. The aroma is oak, booze, caramel, toffee. Thin mouthfeel with bitter malt and toffee. Odd.

Pour is a thick looking brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice toffee with sticky malts and loads of brown sugar. Flavor is again more toffee, maybe some black bread with some plum marmalade. Finish is dark fruit and sugar. I don’t really get much of the hops but this has enough chewy and dark bready malt to carry it over to the solid category.

Crisp deep brown coloured body with some muddy brown and ruby highlights and a very thick, four centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of nuts, earth, toffee, figs, light hops, caster sugar and a bit of yeast and bananas. Medium-bodied; Assertive toasty malt flavours at first with a metallic and yeastie finish with a little sweetness and hop kick at the end. Aftertaste shows some subdued spices, a bit of dry and vanilla yeast kick and a touch of earthiness from the malt at the end. Overall, a well done deep ale with some pungent flavours and relatively good complexity. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Whole Foods (Pearl) in Portland, Oregon on 07-December-2013 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-January-2014.

Draft @ Tomato Bros. Served too cold in a pint glass… dark golden with no more than a ring of white head. After a few minutes of warming, the nose opens up with florals, nuts, and caramel. Some toffee. Flavor is more floral based with a good caramel and earthy base. Lightly sweet, but mostly florals that lack the ‘umph.’ I was hoping for more hops today, but the good flavors are bonding well and it works.

Bomber bought at Super 1 in Rathdrum, ID. This bottle reads 7% ABV. Aroma is doughy, dark fruit, roasty. Pours cloudy brown with a thin beige head with decent retention. Taste is roasty, sweet and malty with a little bitterness in the finish. Caramel and toffee flavors. Average winter warmer, good but nothing special.

12 oz. bottle, pours a murky dark mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma is certainly wintery, with notes of toffee, caramel, slight spicy hops, and vanilla. Flavour brings out wonderful toffee sweetness, with just enough spiciness to balance, along with a touch of vanilla. A big malty winter warmer here with everything in perfect balance, maintaining extremely high drinkability. Really well-executed here - excellent.
