​Walking In a Winter “Warmer” land

Beer Snob | December 17th, 2014

Boulevard - Nutcracker(ABV 7.8% IBU 38, Missouri) Deep gold in color and crowned with a fluffy white head, this winter warmer releases an immediate scent of molasses and chinook hops. The body of this beer is light yet complex, and hints of spice, gingerbread and minimal hops make this a perfect seasonal.

Goose Island - Festivity Ale(ABV 7.7% IBU 50, Illinois) An impressive head gilds this deep maroon beer. Hints of dark fruit and spiced aroma drift from this beer and continue into the taste. Minimal flavors from pilgrim and English golden hops add to this unique flavor. This medium-bodied beer provides intricate flavors and a warming sensation in your belly.

Deschutes - Jubelale(ABV 6.7% IBU 60, Oregon) This deep dark brew topped with a frothy off-white head expels a dark fruit scent and a malt-forward body. Attention-grabbing flavors of dark fruit and multiple English and American hops, and hints of leather, make this beer worthy of the weather.

21st Amendment – Fireside Chat(ABV 7.9% IBU 45, California) Deep ruby in color and adorned with a white frothy head, this brew looks as wonderful as it smells. This full-bodied beer has a malty beginning that finishes with magnum and goldings hops, leaving a pleasant yet subtle finish.

Widmer Brothers – BRRR(ABV 7.2% IBU 50, Oregon) A heavy off-white head adorns this deep amber-stained beer, which is packed full of alchemy, simcoe and cascade hops. Indications of caramel seep through this crisp beer, leaving a tingle in your mouth and a lasting aftertaste.
