Pros: Classic Winter Ale. Cons: Not a beer for laying down.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without Samuel Smith’s Winter Welcome Ale. Before the flood of Christmas seasonals from microbrewers and megabrewers became popular, there was Winter Welcome. A perennial harbinger of the Christmas season, Winter Welcome ...
The winter season is considered a time to look forward to three things: Christmas; year- end bonuses; and seasonal winter beer. Winter offerings from brewers are usually characterized by a higher alcohol content and an emphasis on spices. These two...
Pros: Full bodied ale with a lusciously bitter flavor Cons: Clear glass guarantees skunky aroma
Tonight, I think I'm in the mood for something bitter, and something British. The Samuel Smith Winter Welcome should fit the bill quite well, and the bottles are only a few weeks old, having been scarfed up just before the big Christmas day ...
Pros: Good flavor, nice head, creamy texture Cons: Not as hearty as you'd expect, and no spice
I look at my thermometer today and see it’s currently 74F. What a contrast between Yorkshire and the Southern California Desert. I envy my friends, sat in a pub (yes it’s 9pm Friday in England right now), wearing sweaters and jackets, as close to the...
Pros: Flavorful, Full bodied, Compatible with food Cons: A bit pricey, Not the best Winterbrew on the market

Pros: decent dry finish Cons: boring and lackluster

Pros: Winter Welcome Ale has a smooth sweet taste and a clean finish. Cons: Price can be steep. Would be a good gift though.
Shakespearean Beer Sonnet: How doth I compare thee to an empty glass? The Old Brewery at Tadcaster in Yorkshire, England has been in operation since 1758. They’ve been brewing Samuel Smith’s select versions of ales for five generations now. ...
Pros: Fine light brown ale Cons: Doesn't know what season it really wants to be in!
I'll state right up front that my taste in beers runs very strongly to that of stouts, porters, dark ales and lovely winter brews. That said I don't turn down a good brown ale or even a pils or lager if it comes my way. And when you add to the fact...
Pros: Full flavored, creamy English ale Cons: Not exactly a 'typical' winter beer
Let me start out by saying that the other reviewer (Mr. Carey) makes a very good point in that, no, Winter Welcome is not your typical seasonal offering. Then again, neither is Redhook's Winterhook, but they are both damn good beers. Maybe we could...
Pros: A fresh, full tasting beer with no aftertaste Cons: Sometimes skunked or otherwise less than fresh
Sure, Samuel Smith Breweries winter offering may lack the qualities of a traditional winter brew, but who cares. Instead of a bitter brew thinly masked by sweet smelling spices filming the taster's mouth, Winter Welcome Ale greets the...
