On tap at Indeed, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted caramel, bready malt and toasted nuts. Flavour is along the same lines, fresh caramel, bready malt and red fruits. Nicely constructed, finishing with dark red fruits and caramel. Very good.

This is the winter warmer version. Aroma is malty with some spice. Flavor is like nose up front more bitter than sweet along with the spices finishing more balanced. Body is fairly mild not too heavy.

Pours a dark reddish-brown, with small head. Spicy, floral aromas. Flavor is a big dose of ginger--maybe too much? There’s a complex mix of floral, spicy, sweet tastes all fighting in there. Glad to give it a try once, but I doubt I’ll be buying this again.

Winterfest 2013. Dark brown. Some sweetness in the aroma with ginger. Dry malt flavor with more ginger. Solid beer.
