Terminal Gravity Brewing’s Festivale Winter Warmer 8.4% It pours a deep reddish brown that is virtually black with a good 1cm of beige foam. The aroma is lovely rich maltiness: raisins, maple syrup, toffee, molasses - smells like something that was either was in a barrel or should be. Full bodied, malty sweet caramel, bitter, smoked maple and all in all a decent winter beer.

Bottle from Whole Foods on Westlake, Seattle; 8.4% ABV
It pours a cloudy dark amber to brown color with generous creamy head. Mild caramel aroma, with a hint of mature apples. Good body, with moderate sweetness; strong caramel flavor, again a hint of apples which is not a positive sign, then the expected strong bitterness, and some hop resins; some nuts in the final.
Not bad, but unexciting.

Bottle - Toffee, bread, wood, booze and Christmas spices. Clear caramel with a light brown head. Candy like toffee and spice with a bitter kick. Burnt sugar and a very sweet pleasing winter beer.

12 oz. bottle. Dark brown with a medium, tan head. The aroma is caramel, cut grass, chalk, and milk chocolate. The flavor is malty sweetness, with a nice mild bitterness in the finish. Medium body, a little astringent, and thick. Overall, this is a nice winter warmer, with a delicious low-level bitterness.

12 oz bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a thick beige head with good retention; leaves a little lace. Aroma consists of cooked cabbage, caramel. Taste is malty sweet with a lightly bitter finish; a bit garbagey. Nothing wrong with the palate. Overall, an unimpressive winter warmer--a bit boring.

Bottle from Belmont Station. Pours hazy dark glowing amber with a beige creamy head. Aroma is quite malty with some floral aspects. Med body. Flavor is an English ESB morphing into a barley wine. Quite nice.

Draft at TFD Boise: Pours a muddy orange color with a large sandy head. Aroma is intense with floral and citrus hoppiness, just a little malty sweets. I really liked the hop presence here, potent, but in balance with the caramel malt. This was really enjoyable.

On tap at the Front Door Boise, ID. Pours out a nice amber topped with a nice tan head. A great aroma of hops all over it. A nice mix of sweetness and bitter. A very good brew.

On tap at the Front Door. Clear medium amber with a nice full light tan head. Big carmel sweet malty aroma with a little hop bite. Flavor is balanced and gig. Almost barleywinish. Faded subdued hops and a thock smooth feel. nice.

Strong aroma of hops and barley. Malty with much bitterness, a hoppy delight. Alcohol warmth, good for a cold clear night.
