Day 332 - Winter Welcome Ale

You know, I was concerned that this one might be on the sweet side, as some English ales can be (see the other day...). It is good when your fears are proved to be in haste.

The color of wood coals glowing in the fireplace, a calm, earthy aroma, and a very tasty dry malt flavor that fills the mouth and lingers a bit after swallowing. All in all, in my opinion, what an ale should be.

Specs:

Full Name: Winter Welcome Ale
Brewed By: Samuel Smiths Old Brewery
From: Tadcaster England
ABV: 6%

So, an above average beer on a Tuesday is a real treat. It makes me want to be in England, sitting in some old pub with friends, having a pint or two near the fireplace dark with soot from untold number of fires. While it would feel out of place drinking this sitting on a beach at some Carribean resort watching the sunset, I could probably deal with that discomfort... ;>)

Cheers!
