beer_name: Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale
text: Dumped entirely into a Duvel tulip glass. Deep amber color, nearly crimson. The head resembles a feathery merengue and is tan in color. Smell: Lemon grass, slight caramel and lighty sugared raison undertones. Subtle hints of clear bottle skunk, but not overpowering. Taste: Subtle, palate-encompassing soft pinch of hops against an expanse of candied fruit (like the fruit in a fruit cake, fruit cake). Aftertaste is a nice buzz on the center of my tongue -- a dry remnant of hop bitterness. Middling carbonation; creamy consistency.
