beer_name: Fourteen Ale
text: On tap at Max's today. The beer pours a honey amber color with good head retention and lacing. The beer smells sweet and spicy on the nose, with some orange peel and light nutmeg. Flavors replicate the nose, and the beer is very sweet, with noticeable alcohol and underlying spice. Still, although this is clearly a big beer, there is plenty of flavor and the flavor (with the underlying wheatiness) is attractive. Mouthfeel is very soft, long and smooth, and drinkability is not too bad for the style. This is a very rich beer with noticable alcohol, but for what it is, this beer isn't bad at all. Very much a sipper on those cold winter nights, this is an excellent winter warmer. Obviously, a little bit goes a long way, and I cannot imagine drinking a bomber of this. Still, this beer is not bad at all.
