    A smooth easy drinking medium bodied brew that highlights the malts. Unremarkable flavor similar to a Red Ale.

    Characteristics: malty smooth sweet

    It pours out a darker amber / light brown color with a tan creamy head. The aroma is sweet with butterscotch, caramel and molasses, hitting you up front with some winter spices. The taste is much milder and malty then you expect. There is a nice hint of alcohol to complement the spices and the hops come through in the finish with some bitterness to balance it all out. This is a hearty beer in your mouth and could work excellent with some food. Its also very session-able, it goes down easy and isn’t overly spiced. It comes in with an ABV of 6.8% which makes it good for a winter day or evening of drinking with friends. Shipyard did a great job with this winter warmer.

    Characteristics: caramel full malty sessionable spices
