Weyerbacher Brewing Co.: Winter Brown Ale
5.6% alcohol by volume
Buying details: $5.50 for a pint at Holy Smoke BBQ on 12 November 2012
Tonight was one of their Brewery nights and Weyerbacher and Oskar Blues were the featured beers. Here is a pic of their bar with all the tabs allocated:
These were two breweries I wasn't that familiar with. Weyerbacher is from Pennsylvania and Oskar Blues (featured in next post) is from Colorado. .... onto the review
This beer is really dark - almost black - especially considering this is a brown winter ale. The head is close to 2 fingers, a caramel color and lingers for a spell. No super strong aromas but some caramel and toasted notes.
The taste is really interesting. A little bitter, but more than that it is the sweetness you notice. Nothing too severe but a bit unexpected. Overall it is not to heavy (if anything a little thing - considering the color) and finishes pretty smooth.
This is a really enjoyable beer. Probably a little sweet to have too many in one sitting but a great beer to start the night out with. I have wanted to start finding good winter ales and this one definitely goes on the list.
Overall I give this $6.50 a pint - so more than I paid for it. If you see it on tap or in a bottle give it a shot
