Old Jubilation - Avery Brewing Company

Poured from the bottle into my snifter a nice deep dark ruby color with ample offwhite/tan head. Smells initially of caramel malts and some piney bitterness, with a spicy aftertone. Spiciness is more evident in the taste with the malts and pine notes finishing. Good feel with medium carbonation and smooth finish. Overall a nice winter beverage.

ABV: 8.0%

Boulder Beer Company - Never Summer ale

Poured into a standard pint glass, with a nice ruby/brown color and a light tan head of about one finger that dissipated quickly and laced minimally. Aroma was of an earthy nature with roasted malts. Taste is malty with again an earthy flavor. Feel is smooth, with light carbonation and a medium feel. Good winter beverage that reminds me some of a scotch ale.
