Deep amber in colour, Old Winter Ale is a strong, satisfying beer with an aroma that picks out malt, cookies and liquorice. The prominent Crystal malts add sweet, nutty flavours, beautifully balanced by floral notes from Target, Challenger and Northdown hops.

0.5 l bottle @ home. Pours mahogany with beige head. Nose is spicey and malty, taste is quite similar with some surprisingly apparent bitter hops in the finish. Light to medium body, average carbo. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary either.

500 ml bottle from the lcbo.
Dark mahogany pour, big off white head. Dark sherry, bready malts, and quite a bit of spice. Perfect mouthfeel and carb. Good spicy bite, the finish is dry, and crisp, medium bitterness.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, agrumi, erbe aromatiche e mandorla fresca.
