Stoudts Winter Ale (2009-2010)
Appearance: Pours a clear amber color with quite the head; retains well and leaves plenty of stickage Smell: Bready, with underlying hints of piney hops Taste: Bready, up front, but the sweetness of the malt and the resinous flavor of the piney hops soon join the fray; after the swallow, the sweetness is a bit unbalanced, with a strong caramel flavoring Mouthfeel: Medium body and moderate carbonation Drinkability: Would that it were not so sweet, this would be quite the amber; as it is it is still pretty good
