Chocolate Bock 7.5
Lots of chocolate and malt right away but with a velvety finish. A good after dinner beer. A nice addition to the sampler but nothing you could drink all night.
Holiday Porter 7.5
The aroma was of toffee and roasted malt. Upon tasting brought out more chocolate and still more toffee followed by bitter hopps and cinnamon. A bit too much carbonation for a porter for my liking, but overall very good.
Old Fezziwig 8
The aroma was of mild winter spice and sweet caramel. Nutmeg and and blended spices with the taste and a hoppy finish. A medium bodies smooth winter beer. A little thin, could use more body.
Winter Lager 8
Aroma is not impressive. A lot of these other beers in the sampler score higher marks here. The taste is cinnamon and caramel with slight hops and ginger. The ginger has a slight orange taste to it. Creamy, drinkable, a good session beer, and well balanced.
I chose not to review the White Ale because it belongs in a spring sampler, not a winter one.
