Is this weather ever going to end?
- Brew – Winter Ale 6.2% ABV, 750ml
- Brewer – Great Lakes Brewery
- Style – Winter Warmer
- Country – Ontario, Canada
- Purchased – Great Lakes Brewery Store
Another seasonal beer from GLB.
About the Beer – It poured a reddish copper colour with an OK head. The aroma was of cinnamon, orange, ginger, and caramel. The flavor was quite spicy up front. Lot’s of cinnamon, ginger, clove, and orange. It kind of reminded me of allspice. The malt profile was much lighter than I was expecting.
Would I Drink it Again? – Probably not, this beer is just not my thing. Too much spice for me but I can see some really liking it.

I find I like the idea of these winter ales just not the taste. I wonder if there are mellower spiced ones. Have you tried any others?
