Goose Island's Mild Winter

Bottled on date: 10/17/11

Appearance is mahogany brown with a slim light-nougat head.

Nutty and toasted in the nose. Corn chips. Mild sweetness (fruitiness). Phenolic yeast.

Taste: more toasty notes. Bittering hops work wonderfully, delivering the brew the whole way through. Near burnt caramel. Hop resin. Faint gingery spice.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Well balanced. Brings out a little spicy heat as it warms (presumably the rye as noted on the bottle).
