look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Deep amber colour, finger of white head, good amount of lace on the glass. Smell is malty, sweet caramel and spices, fruity and almost comes across smelling exactly like a fruit cake. Taste is sweet and malty, some spice and lightly bitter, caramel, fairly one dimensional and a bit bland. Medium carbonation and medium bodied, decent medium full feel. Not great but not bad either, rather boring however, I finished half the bottle and that was more than enough for this, don't see myself coming back to this.

Winter welcome ale pours a bronze color with very little head. Their is a sweet, caramel apple like aroma, with hints of a toasty malty undertone. Their is a slight roasted malty undertone in taste, with strong hints of caramel and sweet fresh apples. Easy to drink, and very nice feel, and nice full flavors. Overall a very unique winter warmer, sweet and fruiterer.
