Here's a winter warmer that didn't make my Winter Warmer Blitzkreig last month because it wasn't in Houston at the time. But, here it is. Hope it's better than their Monster Ale barleywine...
Pours nice and coppery. Light tan head disappears as quickly as it appears, despite decent carbonation.
Smells nice. Like a bock, almost, with the malt but a zippy slightly spicy smell that a warmer should have.
Nice. Bigger in the feel than I expected. A little more bitter than many warmers, but not overpowering and not very specific in the type of bitterness. It just grabs you a little without being piney, floral, or grassy. A little less malty than I thought it would be based on the smell. It's pretty zippy, but not peppery like many warmers.
This style is bland sometimes, but it's generally a good beer all-around. This is no exception. Good beer, nothing to write home about though.
