Brewsters Brewing Company Howitzer Winter Warmer at 7% ABV (C$6.99 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 650 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 19-Mar-2016)
Appearance: clear amber-brown with one finger of light beige head diminishing gradually to a thick cap, patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: caramel/toffee, malty, nutty, spices, mild dark fruit. (6/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium slightly creamy body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering bitter finish. (3/5)
OK for what it is – malt dominant, with some typical “winter” spices. Not all that well balanced, though, and slightly harsh on the finish. (12/20)
