Young's: Winter Warmer

Name: Young's Winter Warmer
Brewed In/Type: London, England / Ale
Bought at/Price Binny's / $ 2.99 pint
Dennis: This is a very safe beer. Winter warmers generally tend to be a little more robust in my opinion, but this really just comes across as sweet malts. It's a really good beer, but like all english beers suffers from to much malt and not enough hops. Low carbonation, some deep musty malts, and a weak hop followup even for a winter warmer. At 5% honestly I'm left to wonder what exactly about this beer will keep you warm.
Jen: I don't seem to find this all that impressive. It has a sweet and roasty flavor to it that is accompanied by a finish of extremely mild hops bitterness. The thin body leaves something to be desired. I feel that this is lacking something in comparison to other Winter Warmers. It is fairly easy to drink, but I am left wanting more, and not necessarily of this.
Rating: 3 out of 5
