Snowbound Ale

Left Hand Brewing

Longmont



This beer tastes like the holidays feel and smell, of butter and brown sugar, nutmeg and allspice and cloves, pumpkin pie and gingerbread and pine trees. You could almost serve it warm with a cinnamon stick, but it's much better cold by a raging fire. Although the malts and hops are somewhat muted behind the honey and spice, Snowbound makes up for it with a creamy texture and rich, dark color. Left Hand makes Colorado winters proud.

I`m drinking one as we speak. My favorite affordable seasonal brew.

Got a bottle of this in the fridge that has been beckoning me for a week now.

Nice, long article on dogfish head in the new yorker, with a good brief history of craft brewing in america thrown in.

... just finished it, i'm damn thirsty now.

I'm not a big Sammy fan, generally, but this is my #1 seasonal:

MOST EXCELLENT on cold evenings or not so cold.

"Behold the stunning crimson hues through the inky blackness. Inhale the noble Hallertau hops, spicy and floral. Savor the flavors redolent of English toffee, rich mocha, sweet molasses, candied currants and a hint of anise. We highly recommend cellaring additional bottles, as the Czar will continue to mature and become denser and more complex with age.

The 2007 Vintage is showing beautiful notes of chocolate right off the bat.

Just have to tell yall about this one, but only available in center TX area so far, is a coffee porter from Real Ale Brewing. A big for this coffee porter, the only downside is that it is only available on tap and from Nov to about Feb. I believe. Just a crying shame...

Gets a A- rating on Beeradvocate

Shade Grown Coffee Porter (fall release) draught only
A rich, robust porter with a dry finish. Brewed with organic barley and organic fair trade coffee from Katz Coffee Roasters. Savor the subtle coffee flavor of this irresistible ale.
ABV: 5.6%, IBU: 40, OG(plato): 14

nothing better than stouts and porters in the winter.

its like a hug from mom.
