Look - 3.75 Smell - 4 Taste - 4 Feel - 3.5 Overall - 3.75
Look - This winter ale was poured from a 355mL bottle. It is a dark red amber colour and had a thick two fingers of off white head. The head had a long retention time and it had moderate lacing.
Smell - This beer smells deeply of chocolate, vanilla and brown sugar. It definitely has a sweet smell to it with hints of caramel.
Taste - This beer tastes of vanilla, caramel and chocolate. The sweetness is balanced by the malt and nutty taste which creates a slightly bitter after taste.
Feel - It has a medium body and light carbonation. It is smooth drinking but could use a little bit more carbonation.
Overall - This beer pretty much tastes like Christmas and is quite enjoyable in a smaller serving. It is well balanced and a very good seasonal product produced by Granville Island Brewing. It just recently made its opening appearance in Ontario. I would recommend giving it a try on a cold winter night but is not a beer to drink on a regular basis.
