Smuttynose Winter Ale

      The head was quick to raise in the glass. Had a nice brown shade to the head too. It lowered after the first few seconds and hung low at the top. The smell was almost a raisin, chocolate, caramel mix. The color is a nice shade of red that makes it very appealing really. This one hits the mouth and you start to get a warmer sensation. The caramel character is there and a nice fruitiness. As you swallow you get a nice bitter finish. 
      Smuttynose brewing is a trip! You see the two guess on there IPA bottle and one of em is in a red flannel and suspenders. When I went to the American Craft Beer Festival in Boston that man was at the booth. He was more willing to talk beer then any other person in the place. That's the kind of person who loves his product. Also the kind of person that makes great beer. This mustache hasn't found one Smuttynose he wouldn't swim in again. Even if it's just one time a year for a specific style!
