Dark Horse 4 elf: Review

Dark Horse Brewing Company
Marshall, Michigan, USA


Winter Warmer Ale
8.75% abv
$9.50 a four pack

Appearance: super dark brown body with a half a finger light tan head that leaves some lacing on the glass


Aroma: Oh yes, winter holiday spices; allspice with a hint of clove;

Flavors: the holiday spice profile dominates; brown spices – nutmeg, pinch of cinnamon, hint of clove; brown holiday breadiness; roasted grains; coffee;

Mouthfeel: moderate-low carbonation; fine fizzy feel; medium body; little thicker than a lager and a little thinner than a porter; light dry bitterness; the alcohol really didn’t play a role


To the Point: a very nice winter warmer; easy to drink; it’s all about the winter holiday spice; if this one is too much for you then, try the Frankenmuth Christmas Town Ale, it is just a little lighter in body and the spice is also a little lighter
