Harpoon Winter Warmer

This 5.9% ABV seasonal Holiday Ale brewed with cinnamon and nutmeg is from the Harpoon Brewery out of Boston, Massachusetts. It's been in my fridge for a while and I just couldn't get to it, but as summer approaches I knew I had to get it cracked open.  What beer is in your fridge that you just don't get to?


The beer pours a dark amber to a burnt orange and brown. There is a half inch of light tan head, not long lasting. The aroma is malty, dark caramel, toffee, spices. The taste follows the aromas, nicely malty and sweet, with just the right amount of spices, the nutmeg a bit more forward than the cinnamon. There is sweetness, but the finish is dry, with a moderate bitterness. The beer has a medium body and fairly crisp carbonation.
