Otter Creek Raspberry Brown Winter Ale
From Otter Creek – Otter Creek Winter Ale will be available this winter from November through January. The new special release is a smooth brown ale, with a touch of raspberry. Rich and toasty with a warming body and light hops, this will be a malty and perfectly fruited beer- very appealing and comforting. Just right for wintertime.
Otter Creek – Otter Creek Raspberry Brown Winter Ale – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 6.8% abv. Thanks to Ray from MA.
Appearance: Pours a brownish red with small swirls of white looking from the top down.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
Aroma: Smells like a cherry or raspberry tootsie roll pop.
Taste: A quick zap of burnt chocolate malt followed by tart raspberry and a touch of earthy hops in the finish. I get a lot of tootsie roll pop flavor as well. I’m not complaining either.
Mouthfeel: Perfectly carbonated, medium bodied.
Overall: Really tasty, and came off like a dessert beer in my book. This was my very first Otter Creek beer.

Raspberry + winter beer….not the first combo I think of. Interesting nonetheless!
