96. Smuttynose Winter Ale

Snuttynose is quickly becoming one of my favorite brewers. I have yet to have a bad beer from Smuttynose and some of them end up on my top list. I have not started my top Winter seasonals yet but this will certainly be on it. Nice dark color with tan head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is sweet with some malt and hops in there. Taste is smooth with plenty of sweetness but very well balanced. This would be a great session beer and another solid offering from Smuttynose. 
Pros: Color, smooth easy to drink

Cons: 

Alcohol Content: 5.1% ABV
