Harpoon Winter Warmer

Harpoon Brewery Winter Warmer
Spiced Ale
5.9% ABV

JT's Score: 88/100

Enjoyed on tap in a wide mouth 20oz mug. By the time it got to my table, there was no head so I really can't comment. The aroma was wonderful, full of the typical holiday spices of nutmeg and cinnamon. The taste mirrored the aroma perfectly. This is a very smooth, spicy ale that leaves a specific aftertaste of cinnamon and nutmeg, almost reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Nice caramel malt flavoring that slips down the throat very smoothly. No unpleasant aftertaste. There is almost no hoppiness. This may become one of my new favorite seasonal beers. 88/100 overall ranking, but would be a 90+ if I were looking only for a seasonal beer.
