Sam Smith's "Winter Welcome"

ABV
The
Yorkshire ales of Samuel Smith are legendary,
combining reverence for tradition with an uncommon
dedication to quality. This beer is brewed
in the Winter Warmer style; smooth, malty brews
that are a touch stronger, plumper, less bitter
and more caramel-scented than the typical British
pale ale. "Winter Welcome" is a tawny gold,
topped with a froth as white and fluffy as Santa's
beard. It delivers just enough richness
to soothe the wind-chapped senses, yet doesn't
push intensity so far as to limit the beer's
drinkability by the pint. Solidly malty,
"Winter Welcome" is very dry with a hearty, multi-grain
toast quality. Complex earthy aromas worthy
of artisanal cheese add depth, while mineral sharpness
and herbal hop twang scour the palate clean. This
winter beer is a study in restraint, an impeccably
balanced brew with class that needn't shout
to make its message heard.
