I succumbed to a stack of Smuttynose Winter Ale on a visit w Lisa to Kroger's today and bought a 6-pack. I thought it was a wittier. I tired one tonight because I thought it would be a a nice aperiti. Well, surprise! The ale is actually a winter warmer reminiscent of a Belgian style dubbel. Beeradvocate classifies it as a dubbel. I think that I will group it w winter warmers. The brewer states that the beer contains no spices.
The beer reminds me of Great Divide Hibernation Ale and Anchor Old Jubilation. It is nice and malty with some caramel and spicy sweetness. Pleasant and Christmassy.
I give it 4 glasses. Upon further examination I may move the score to 5.
