Highland Cold Mountain Winter Ale from Highland Brewing
Rating: B
Thanks to ipa2xs for sending this one my way - it's the last of the beers I received in the No Name BIF....
Appearance: Garnet, almost purple in color. Good head, retention and lacing. Very clear. A fine looking beer, if nothing else.
Smell: Cocoa, heavy on the Christmas spices, definitely sweet-smelling.
Taste: Spices, maple syrup. Some cocoa and vanilla. Not much bitterness. Heavy flavors conceal the alcohol.
Mouthfeel: Thicker body than I think I'd prefer, somewhat syrupy.
Drinkability: I split the 16 oz and that was plenty... Not a huge fan on the whole - not beery enough for me, I suppose.
Serving type: bottle
