Goose Island Winter Ale

Goose Island Winter Ale. Formerly known as Hexnut Brown Ale, one of their staple ales in years gone by.

Clear, dark chestnut brown coloring, sizable head that slims down.

Rich, malty, semi-sweet, nuts and toffee. Nice.

In the mouth, ...mmmm. Yeah. It just what it is. A little roasted malt, just short of dry, a beautiful balance. Some caramel, some chocolate, a little nutty, staying shy of sweet.

What do they say about it? Layered with rich, nutty chocolate notes and malty, roasted caramel flavors, our brown ale gives you plenty to contemplate on long winter nights.

This doesn't seem like what I remember the Hexnut Brown to be, but that was a long time ago. As for this Winter Ale, I like it. I could drink it. It's good beer. And there ain't nothing wrong with it.
