Weyerbacher Winter Ale
Beer-a-Day #12
What sort of mischief are those snowmen up to?
Brown with some red highlights. Light brown head drops to a nice layer of foam. A bit of spice in the aroma. Some pleasant nuttiness and spice in the flavor.

Brooklyn Winter Ale

Beer-a-Day #361 Based on the satisfying malty ales of blustery Scotland, Brooklyn Winter Ale will have you looking on the bright side of things. Rich Scottish malts bring deep bready flavors to a beer with a full copper color, a round, smooth palate, and brisk hopping that pulls the sweet malts into balance. See –
Weyerbacher Slam Dunkel

Beer-a-Day #350 Slam Dunkel was a small batch release in 2007. We had such an overwhelming response that we had to put it in the seasonal rotation. We also decided we couldn’t live without drinking this beer every year! This 7% Double Dunkelweizen is unfiltered and made with over 50% wheat malt along with pale,

Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale

Beer-a-Day #239 Like a pyramid for a pharaoh, we set out to make a bold monument for The King of the Pumpkins! This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is the mother of all pumpkin ales. It is heartier, spicier, and more “caramelly” and “pumpkiny” than its faint brethren! We have added lots of pumpkin along with Cinnamon,
Wild Goose Snow Goose Winter Ale

Beer-a-Day #186 What do you know? Another winter beer on clearance. Snow Goose is a Winter Warmer that has become a Mid-Atlantic tradition. Snow Goose pours a clear, deep, rich mahogany with a creamy, off-white head. The aromas are warm, toasty malts and caramel with just a hint of hops. Finishes clean and dry. Medium-dark
Otter Creek Winter Ale

Beer-a-Day #184 My favorite retailer was having a clearance sale on some out-of-season beers. Well why the heck not? 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

Beer-a-Day #97 This is the last Weyerbacher for a while. Pretty amber color with a good sized head. Nice spicy hops aroma. Woody hop bit in the finish. Good stuff.

Beer-a-Day #96 I’m running out of Weyerbacher beers. This is a Belgian-style Tripel. Light amber with plenty of haze, and a bunch of stuff floating in it (I hope from the bottle-conditioning). Lots of bubblegum and bananas from the yeast. No, something’s off. Too bad, I really wanted to like this. I guess I’ll have
Weyerbacher Old Heathen Imperial Stout

Beer-a-Day #95 I’ve had this before, but it’s been quite a while, and I’ve never written about it, so… Color of used motor oil, with a head that looks like a chocolate milkshake and a nice cascade. Chocolate, coffee, and toffee notes in the aroma. More coffee and chocolate in the flavor, with some nice
Weyerbacher QUAD

Beer-a-Day #94 Well, I might as well stick to Weyerbacher for a bit longer. They’re not too far away, being just up in Easton, Pennsylvania (home of Crayola Crayons!). The Weyerbacher folks suggest cellaring it for 12 months or more. I’m not that patient. Orangeish, with haze. Aroma is overwhelmingly of bananas and bubblegum. Sweet,
