Southern Tier Old Man Winter Ale. Brewed with 3 varieties of hops and 2 types of malts. Brewed and bottled by Southern Tier Brewing Company, Lakewood, NY. USA. Alc 7% by Vol.
Appearance: rich burgundy hue, slim white head.
Aroma: fruity, malty aromatics. Increasingly rich and complex flavors emerge. Enticing, inviting.
Taste: A rush of malt in the mouth, full, flush, and fruity. A little toasty, some caramel and toffee malt flavors. Nice notes of bitter hops, some apple and cherry coming through. Definitely a feel of an English winter warmer, nearly a barley-wine…on the fringes of one.
Medium body. Great balance. Good flavor. Fine drinking. That'll make a nice session for a cold night.
(and, yes, I said "session" referring to a 7% beer, that's my kind of session.)
