I've seen this for years but never have tried it. I'm not much of a "winter ale" person since I don't like nutmeg.
The head is full and creamy. It has a light amber color and is crystal clear. The aroma is faint with a hint of malt. The flavor is very interesting. It's slightly creamy and malty. A bit of hops in the back. And it has some fall and winter flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon. A bit of butterscotch at the back of the tongue. And at the very end, just a hint of alcohol. It finishes very cleanly and a bit dry.
Not a bad choice for a winter ale. It is subtle and more of a session beer. It doesn't knock you over with nutmeg and other spices which for me is nice.
