Old Man

No, not me...

Winter Ale
Southern Tier Brewing, Lakewood NY
12oz bottle, alcohol not specified

It's a bit late for a Winter ale, but with the weather around here today, it's appropriate.

Pours amber and clear, with a light head that doesn't last very long.

Aroma is light malt, toast, and subtle caramel.

Flavor is also lightly malty, with a bit of peat and little-to-no hops.

Mouthfeel is fairly light, with a nice creaminess.

Finishes initially with some warmth, then with a lingering bitterness.

The bottle was a bit cold, so some more complexity may come out as it warms. I'll add a note if it's significant.

A good winter ale for a cold, wet spring day.
