Sam Adam's Old Fezziwig Ale
One of the standards from Sam Adams, that the roll out every year. Fezziwig pours out a medium brown with a fresh mocha, spice, herb and dried berry nose. It starts with a medium hop that fades on the finish. There's also lots of caramel, mocha, spice and herb. The aftertaste strikes me as less than pleasant, some clash between herb and spice. I also find the body and the malts to be weak. It's fine and certainly strikes me as a classic Winter Beer, but there's a lot better out there. Down on the nice list.
