This Winter Ale pours black with a small head.  The nose gives a sweet molasses scent.  Taste is burnt caramel and molasses and ripe red fruits.  No bitterness.  I'm surprised this is an ale as it comes across more like a stout or porter, but perhaps just a little milder than those categories.  Quite drinkable.  Buy.

  1. Lighthouse Winter Ale from Victoria, BC. A winter ale, very dark brown with a modest head. Malty bouquet with a pleasant taste, sweet and malty but not chocolatey or bitter. A nice brew for a winter night. 4 bottlecaps out of 5.
