Cigar City Brewing Warmer Winter Winter Warmer

Cigar City Brewing Warmer Winter Winter Warmer is an English Barleywine. Bottled in October of 2012, enjoyed in May of 2013, aged about 7 months. Big thanks to my friend Jim for the bottle! This is a very sweet sipping kind of beer. I’m getting dark toffee, raisins, cherries, light brown sugar, and spiced rum. Some faint hops give a very slight bitterness on the finish. The first time I had this it was just way too sweet for me, but it seems my palate has changed quite a bit. I found this much more enjoyable the second time around, and I will not be passing on bottles of this again in the future.
