Available each winter from the first of November until it runs out, Isolation ale is amber in color, malty and strong. We consider it a traditional winter warmer, without the addition of fruits or spices.

330ml can at home. Pours a deep reddish amber. Thin fizzy off white head, aroma of biscuit and sweet bready malts, some oak and mahogany woody notes. Flavour is smooth and sweet malts, slight bit of resin bitterness. Easy drinker

Draft. Deep amber body. Fizzy, off-white head. Malty aroma of caramel, toasted grain, cookie, earthiness, light grapefruit rind. The flavor moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Thin for a winter warmer. Taste of grain. Was tired of this half-way through the pint.

Sample at Veteran's. Pours a clear, dark brown color, with a small, tan head. Smells of coffee, caramel, oak, and earth. Sweet and malty, with a light, easy bitterness. Medium body, with a grainy mouthfeel. Pretty solid, malty beer.

From a 12 oz bottle it is an clear orange Amber color with a slight head. The aroma is malty and some subtle fruitiness the taste is a strong bitter malty flavor that lingers bitter on the palate.

12 oz. bottle. Amber in color, foamy, soapy head, nice lacing. Malt in aroma, not much else. Tastes of malt, a little bit of hop bitterness. Goes down pretty smoothly, but fairly boring.
