This covers it pretty well: "From Beer Buddy David: Summit Winter Ale. Pours into the glass a sturdy brown stalwart to the season. The color of stubborn oak leaves still holding on. A creamy brown caps the glass nicely. A rich smooth nutty creaminess rewards the palate. Nice depth and roasted malt flavor with but a hint of burnt bitterness. Deck the halls delicious!!"

Perfectly decent dark winter ale, malty, sweet, but nothing amazing.

Summit Brewing, St. Paul, MN A really nice tasting beer-smooth with great drinkability. Dark reddish cooper color that is not as hoppy as other Summit beers. Nice combination of flavors & not real filing.

One of the best winter beers I've had

Great transition from Oktoberfest to winter ales. Color USA crisp, black cherry with a small bubble, white head. Spices and robust malts make up a clean aroma. Initial taste is a creamy roasted malt with a soft, sweet and spiced finish. 4 of 5 stars.
