Advent Day 12: Dark Strong Winter Ale

2015-12-12 14.05.15

ABV: 8.5%

Sigtuna’s Dark Strong Winter Ale has a light off white head that stuck around for a few minutes and a dark almost black body. The aroma is full of various fruity esters and the flavour is malty with some fruit and caramel sweetness to it with a mildly bitter finish. The carbonation is medium-low and the body is medium-full.

Rating: 4 / 5 – I could be drinking my own Lady Jane here, but with more alcohol. Very good beer, though I do prefer Lady Jane. This beer will likely age extremely well, so pick up an extra bottle to cellar for a year.
