Smuttynose Winter Ale

Smuttynose Brewing Co.
Portsmouth, NH (USA)
6.8 ABV

C. Moderately cloudy

H. Amber

N. Caramel, sweet malty notes

Dos: Aside from the label which is just hideous, like dude....really?, the beer is just, well, drinkable I would say. Nice when it first hits your tongue, or palette as the nerds would say, but really not that much of an aftertaste at all. Not extremely bland like some of those beers that remind us of the goth chick that sat in the back row of American History glass that talked in a monotone voice, but it’s nothing extraordinary that needs to be drunk this winter. Score = 3.27

Fermentation: Well I expected this beer to be maltier than it really was. Very drinkable and subtle flavors. Caramel sticks out and it's sorta nutty. I wasn’t really excited by this from the initial pour. Ohh well……ohh yah and what’s the deal with the label? It reminds me of that Stone Temple Pilots cd…… Score = 2.98

Overall = 3.125
