2.5 Dry roast, strong and dark
3.1 Pours clear mahogany with three finger, light tan head. Aroma is roast. Taste is caramel, moving to cinnamon, roast and a hop backbone. Finish is hoppy. An OK winter warmer.
4.0 Pours dark amber with off white head. Aroma is toasted malt, dark fruit, and yeast. Flavor is sweet caramel malt wirh toasted notes and dark dried fruit, cocoa, and a slight hop finish. Fantastic!
3.5 DATE: December 7, 2018... OCCASION: the eve of our first Quiz Bowl competition, watching the Great Christmas Light Fight... GLASSWARE: Affligem chalice... pours a dark purple body, opaque and cloudy with a small off-white ring of head that bands the glass... thick wafts of grapefruit, hazelnut, grape/merlot, thick caramel, candied sugars, toffee and cola... its aroma is a staunch harbinger of what's to come... this sips much more appreciably than its 7.4% ABV would have one expect, as a cola mouthfeel brings a mellow appreciation, medium-bodied but more than drinkable... its finish is sweet, lasting, and yes, a bit warming... caramel, molasses, toffee, slight nuttiness, orange citrus blanketed under bread malts, grapes, and grapefruit at the finish--quite a cornucopia of flavor for a beer whose purpose is often to provide a monolithic experience... this is warming indeed, strong and agreeable...one of Flying Dog's consistent offerings...
3.6 Chocolate, vanilla, dark and dried fruit, caramel and roast notes. The spices were far less strong than in a lot of winter themed darker beers which was a shame for me and I found it too sweet.
3.2 From backlog. Bottle from Vinmonopolet Hamar. Winter Ale version with white label. Amber with beige head. Malts, hops, spice and Caramel.

3.9 Little lighter on the flavor side especially for a Flying Dog brew
3.1 BBD 4/23/18 - now called K-9 Winter Warmer. Pours a deep brown that turns a dark ruby red in bright light. Quite outstanding head volume, world class lacing and retention. The nose is extremely weak, a real disappointment for a beautiful looking beer. Even allowing it to warm and tasting it doesn't help. Just mere hints of malt and a bitter spice. Solid medium body that has a bit of creaminess over a smooth textured body. The carbonation / body balance is outstanding. The middle is subtly effervescent while providing a tickle. The finish is finely bubbled and prickly. The flavor profile is good. Like the nose, there is no real flavor separation. You can find a bit of cardamom and cocoa is there (provided you know it before hand and search for it). Consequently, you get a blended flavor experience that is good. Bitterness is extremely mild yet the malts never really deliver a sweet contrast. The finish gives a hint of vanilla and lingers with a bit of uncovered alcohol.

3.6 #1901 Tap. A bit hazy, brown to mahogany, high beige head. Aroma of herbs, mint, coriander, licorice, honey, chocolate, herbal candies. Taste is moderately bitter, nicely sweet, rich honey profile. Chocolate, honey, licorice, mint, licorice, plums, cherries. Fuller body and carbonation. Good one.

3.2 Aromas a gengibre y canela Buen aspecto espuma persistente En boca compleja regaliz y canela
3.7 Ale Brewed With Cardamom, Vanilla Bean And Cocoa. Alkohol: 7,4% obj. Data ważności: 10.12.2017 Kolor: Ciemno miedziany kolor. Patrząc pod światło trunek jest klarowny. Piana: Ładna piana, drobno pęcherzykowata, kremowa o niezłej strukturze. Prze wiele minut góruje nad piwem. Redukuje się do grubej otoczki. Na ściankach szkła pojawia się cała plejada różnego kształtu i wielkości znaczków. Zapach: Fajny przyjemny przyprawowy aromat. Czuć klimat zbliżających się Świąt. Mamy aromat przyprawy piernikowej, gałki muszkatołowej i kardamonu. Po chwili kroku dotrzymują skórki pomarańczy i leciutkie sproszkowane kakao. Wanilia jest najmniej wyczuwalna, zlewa się ona z tłem i z mocnym karmelowym odczuciem. Smak Smak jest słodki, lekko przyprawowy, świąteczny. Na pierwszym planie jest kardamon i gałka muszkatołowa. Potem dochodzi do tego karmel i lekkie toffi. Nie należy zapominać również o nutach przypieczonego chleba, cukru Muscovado i delikatnego kakao. Wanilia ponownie została gdzieś zamieciona pod dywan. Pomimo wielu słodkich nut piwo wcale nie jest mulące. Równoważy go umiarkowana goryczka z przyprawowym tłem. Nagazowanie troszeczkę psuje odbiór. Jest zbyt agresywne i nachalne. Piwo ma średnie ciało oraz dobrze ułożone alko. Całkiem korzystna pijalność. Wysycenie: Wysokie. Podsumowanie: Sympatyczne English Strong Ale. Mi ono bardziej przypomina Piwo Świąteczne, Christmas Ale, niż inny styl. Taki trochę kompot wigilijny w połączeniu z ciasteczkiem świątecznym. Dużo w nim kardamonu, odrobina kakao, sporo karmelu, cukru brązowego, toffi i chleba. Przeszkadza wyjątkowo wysokie wysycenie, ale i tak piwo pomimo 7,4% alk. szybko znika za szkła.
3.2 Barwa ciemnobrązowa, piana duża. Aromat cynamon, kardamon, karmel i lekka wanilia. W smaku głównie karmel, kardamon i jakieś jeszcze przyprawy. Alko niewyczuwalne. Spoko pifko.
3.7 Dark amber with a tan head. Nic aroma of spices and dark fruit. Flavor features a nice roasted malt which is dominant with mild spices and hint of dark fruit. Good finish - good winter ale.
3.6 Amber with off white head - Malt and spicy aroma - Malt body with a dark fruity tones with spices in the back - The dark malts with dark fruity tones goes into the finish with spices - This was good
3.6 Na pewno nie czuć alkoholu. Przyprawy na dość wysokim poziomie. Jest słodko. Może męczyć, ale to taki styl - w kategorii piw z przyprawami wypada całkiem dobrze.
3.3 Aroma of caramel, chocolate, raisin, plums and cardamon. Medium sweetness, lightly bitter a lot of caramel and chocolate in taste. Medium body, oily feel, soft carbonation,
3.4 Shared bottle at Mi2 at Cardinal 18.09.17. Dark copper. Beige head and lacing. Aroma and taste of berries, dried red berries, rasins, cardamom, chocolate and oak. Medium bitterness.
4.2 Shared bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger. Pours dark copper with little beige head. Aroma of dark bread, vanilla, some chocolate, some fruity notes. Tastes slightly sweet with balancing bitterness. Medium bodied, slightly bitter finish.
3.6 Butelka 0.355 z data do 12.10.2017. Wygląd: ciemnorubinowe wpadające w brunatne, klarowne. Piana: brudno biała, drobnopecherzykowa. Redukuje sie do niewielkiej obrączki. Aromat: slodowy z nutami wanilii, ciemnych owoców i miodu i toffi. Kardamonu ani kakao nie czuć. Smak: dosyć wytrawne, ciemne owoce, lekka wanilia i pojawiające sie kakao i kawa prowadzące do fajnego finiszu. Goryczka: średnia , przyjemna kawowa. Ciało: średnie. Wysycenie: średnie. Alkohol leciutko rozgrzewa w przełyk. Ciekawe dosyć pijalne piwo. Po prostu dobre.
