Toffee brown, medium-bodied, with a creamy head and an aroma of raisins and freshly baked dark bread. Mild Winter’s rich caramel malt and spicy rye flavors are sure to take the bite out of whatever Old Man Winter brews up for you this year.

Bottle. Medium brown with a decent, off-white head. Chewy slightly sweet, cereal malts, tart fruit and a big, bitter finish. Good, but not particularly mild.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours clear amber/brown with a creamy beige head. Smells darkly bready. A hint of spice. Med body. Flavor is roast malt with some definite "harsh" rye aspects. Touch of dark fruit. Finishes slightly astringent. Definitely on the dry and bitter side. Very good ale.
