From Harpoon Brewing - When you bring a glass of this dark copper ale to your lips to take your first sip you will notice the aroma of cinnamon.  There is no aromatic hop added that might overpower the distinct spice scent.  The medium body of this beer is formed from caramel and pale malts.  These create enough body to support the spices without making the beer excessively rich.  Bittering hops are added to counter the sweetness of the malt and spice.  The finish of the beer is a blend of cinnamon and nutmeg.  The combination of these two spices results in a balanced, pumpkin-pie flavor.

Harpoon Brewing – Harpoon Winter Warmer – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 5.9% abv. From Ray in MA!

Appearance: Pours a dark clear red. Barely any head to speak of.

Aroma: Flat coca cola and chewable children’s medicine.

Taste: Cola syrup, bottle caps candy. I’m not kidding. There is a little bit of spruce in there as well.

Mouthfeel: Syrupy, sticky and low carbonation.

Overall: Entertaining but not enjoyable.
