Pour is a very dark brown with a large white head. Aroma is brown malt with a little milk chocolate. Flavor is a bit of roasted nut with some chocolate malt. With winter in the name I thought this would have a bit of spice but it's not to be. This is still an ok brown ale.

Rich deep brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of roasted hazlenuts, some light grain, a lot of caramel and some pure peanut notes throughout with a very mild alcohol scent near the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong nutty flavours go throughout with a lot of hazlenuts, a ton of peanuts and a good earthy, lightly sweet note with a mellow yeast and the hint of alcohol near the very end. Aftertaste shows some nutty flavours with only a touch of the nuts and earthy notes with more of the caramel sweetness and a hint of vanilla showing through the cracks. Overall, a decent beer that has a lot of nutty qualtiies with a lot of malt and earthy flavours without much else - perhaps an extra dose of sweetness noticeable at the end. Good to sample, but not worth going out to find, and for the season there are much better beers. I sampled this stubby twelve ounce bottle purchased a few hours ago at BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska for US$1,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska on 09-November-2018.
