I had a six this week and it wasn't a tradional IPA, but it was pretty good.
Wacky. That's my hometown (well, right next door); Mystic, that is. Not Pawcatuck where the brewer is.
You are from Mystic? I was at the CGA, spent a lot of time in Stonington, and golfed many a round at the crappy golf course at the Groton sub base. Spent a lot of time in that area.
Kraftster wrote:Tried the Barbãr Winter Bok last night. A good Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Thought it smelled most strongly of sour cherries -- along the lines of Troegs Mad Elf. Dark fruits the predominant flavor, some cherry flavor as it warmed. Slight maltiness/toffee in the finish. It is brewed with honey and the honey is really the interesting flavor. I bet some find it to be odd and cloying. I don't mind it; in fact, I have to think about the sweetness being honey to realize that its honey. Its 8% (low end for BSDA) and you can't taste the alcohol one bit, which is also true of the standard Barbãr Honey Blonde (also 8%).
If you like Troegs Mad Elf, I think you'll probably like this unless you find the honey objectionable.

hows the taste? does it compare to other Christmas beers where 1 is plenty or can you drink a few of these in a sitting?

Yes. Everything about it is moderate. The body, spice, sweetness and abv make for a beer that you can drink 3 or 4 and still know what is going on around you. This is why it's a Christmas beer I look for year after year.

Ewwwwww
Even if I don't like a certain beer, I can generally appreciate it for what it's worth. Winter Warmer is the only craft beer I have ever had where I took one sip and dumped the rest down the drain. Overspiced grossness.
