473 ml can. 6% for 2023. Pours a dark brown with light head. Aromas of toasted malts, dry grass, nuts and a bit of copper. Flavors follow same. Dry. Not sure why this is a “Winter Ale”. Boring.

355ml can. (6.0% ABV) Pours a clear copper-brown with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that leaves curtains of lace. Mild, sweet aroma of toasted malt, caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Sweet flavour of toasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, molasses, chocolate and light spice in a dry finish. Medium body with a watery texture and average carbonation. A little mild, but ok.
gave a cheers!

Poured from a 355mL can. Deep mahogany brown colour with nice beige head. Roasted malts, brown sugar, slight hops. Would I buy it again? Probably.

Red copper brown ale with a thin white head. Pleasant vinous aroma, with notes of prunes, and vanilla toffee. In mouth, butterscotch assails you, buttery character, with fruity esters, I agree with plum, and a medium bodied. Not much to say here, though, found the buttery aspects a bit off-puting.

Dark reddish-amber; light toffeeish flavour w/ some brown sugar notes. Sweetish finish. Not particularly bruising for a strong ale, but it''s a nice little apres-ski mellower.
