Tonight's taste feast is Snow Day Ale by New Belgium Brewing company. It pours dark brown with an attractive sugar cookie batter colored head of froth. Mouth watering aroma with enticing notes of chocolate and rich malts. First sip. Wow. Toasted grain, caramel, chocolate, and malt. Really good. Medium body and carbonation, hoppy, with a nice bittersweet quality. The finish is crisp, refreshing, and ends with a nice lingering chalky dark chocolate finish.
I really enjoyed this brew. From the aroma and taste, to the nice amount of lacing it left on the glass, and the constant cap of tan head. The 6.2% alcohol content is incredibly masked, so I'd recommend pacing yourself when enjoying this ale. No gripes, just praise. A great brew that was inspired by the feeling we all shared when we looked out the window one winter morning to discover a massive snowfall, and the joy that followed when school was cancelled. I would recommend having this on hand throughout the holidays. It's that good.
Cheers!!!
Snow Day has been on sale at Meijers for the last few weeks for $12.80 (plus deposit) for a 12 pack, which is a great bargain for a quality brew.
