Cisco Brewing Winter Woods

Winter Woods
Cisco Brewers Inc.
Nantucket, Massachusetts
9.00% ABV
Style: American Wild Ale

C: Clear On The Edges
H: Deep Redish-Brown Color
N: Acetic, Cranberries, Faint Vanilla Spice?

The Ferm: THE WOODS CALLS YOU TO THEM! Very excited to get to try the Winter Woods, one of the Woods Series from a brewery up in Mass. Yes, this is the same company that does Whales Tale, a beer that was just released in the local South Florida Market. Hopefully sales go well for Cisco in Florida and we can have some of the big bottles soon!
The beer smells like a blend of acid and cranberries. There was a faint spice that I could not put my nose one, but the more I think about it, it may have been vanilla. The flavor was similar to the nose but filled with a spice upfront that was almost a turn off for me. Once the spice mellowed out a bit the sour cranberries came in, and that made me happy.
Very interesting beer, just like most of the American Wild Ales. This is a style of beer that really is hit or miss. Although you find more hits than misses lately. I don't know if I would seek out this Woods Series again, but I will look for other beers in the same line!

Bell's Hopslam Ale Attacks South Florida

Well beerigos it is here!

Beer release season has started.

HOPSLAM has started popping up around South Florida Bars and Stores.

Be quick about picking up this gem of a Double IPA though.  We are getting very limited supplies of the beer.

Where can you find it?  Well, most Total Wine & More stores will have it at the main desk right as you walk in, and it is limited to one 6-pack per person.

Besides Total Wine, I reccomend swinging by your local craft beer bar to see if bottles or even draft are avalable.  Last night The Coffee District started the frenzy by tapping the first keg in Palm Beach County EVER!  There is not much left so swing by and have a tasty pint of this beer.  The Funky Buddha is on deck with keg waiting....that's right!  When will they tap it?  Well, I guess we will have to wait.

Enjoy this wonderful beer fresh, it really does not age well, but be careful Mi Amigos it is 10% ABV.

Look for a bottle review next week as I cover high gravity beers all week!

Follow me on twitter at @DosBeerigos for up to date info on where you can find Hopslam in the South Florida Area!
