Kennebunkport Brewing Co. Winter Ale

This fine New England brew comes in a standard 12 fl oz bottle and has respectful 6.7% alcohol by volume. It is a seasonal beer, and here winter means strong and malty. It pours dark-brown in your glass and produces a white, thin foam of large bubbles who immediately disappear. Your nose senses fruits and caramel coming from the glass that is a clear chestnut brown. It tastes very malty, almost like caramel and hints of sweetness which go greatly along with its very high carbonation. After a few sips, you have a great aftertaste of caramel in your mouth. This beer goes great with food and solo. One is definitely fun to drink, probably also a second one. But its taste reminds me somewhat of single-malt whiskeys. And these are meant to be enjoyed, not to be drunk in masses. The same holds for this fine Ale.
