Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome Ale - The Spit or Swallow Beer Review

Brrr! Shagdog here, trying to thaw out from the cold winter chill. I'm wrapping up warm and cracking open a Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale to see if it's the perfect brew to heat things up. This English ale is a seasonal staple, brewed with a blend of malted barley and hops to evoke the warmth and comfort of the holiday season. But does it live up to its inviting name? Watch to find out as I put Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale to the test

This seasonal beer is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a broad range of drinkers, is balanced against whole-dried Fuggle and Golding hops with nuances and complexities that should be contemplated before an open fire.
