Our winter strong ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnut, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts.

Dark redbrown, smooth light brown head. nutty dark caramelly aroma, also some dark chocolate, some bitter hops in the background. flavor is dark caramelly sweet, dark toffee, faint roasted malts, bitter malts, faint flowery and bitter hop flavor to balance. a beer with lots and lots of taste from malts, but never too sweet.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear reddish brown color with an expansive, creamy, foamy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel and toffee. Taste is slightly roasty and nutty malt notes with caramel, toffee and spicy hops. Texture is creamy, smooth and slightly cheesy. Medium-full bodied.

Bottle: Pours a deep amber with a finger of creamy beige head. Thick lacing. Smells of piney hops, light citrus, and a touch bready. Flavor is hoppy yet sweet from a source other than citrus. A brown sugary, caramel type sweetness... Toffee and light bready notes. Finish is a sweet and hoppy flourish. I found this to be extremely enjoyable and would have this again any time.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark amber color with a small frothy off white head. The aroma is a sweet hop and nuts. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit, apple with a dry finish. Very drinkable and hides the alcohol well. A very good English Strong Ale from Avery.

Pours very dark clear brown with a frothy tan head. Aromas of burnt malts and coffee. Sweet flavor to start with a bitter finish. Full body with minimal carbonation and a silky mouthfeel and a slight alcohol taste. Very smooth drinking.

12 oz. bottle from Gregis. Pour is ruby brown with a nice off white head. Aroma of sweet dried fruit, biscuit malt and some nuttiness. Taste has all of the elements of the nose, sweet, malty and nutty. The taste and the finish are extremely dry. Over the taste seems a bit disjointed. The palate felt a bit thin for the size of the beer. Despite this, I really could not detect any heat. Overall, decent but nothing to get terribly excited about. Thanks Greg!
