[1] Review by ante from Stockholm, Sweden who has tried this beer once. (5/23/2006 7:08:54 AM)
"Clear dark brown, no head to mention. Unpleasant strong alcoholic aroma with cloying notes of candied pears. Heavy alcoholic flavour, hints of toffee and gooseberry. Harsh alcoholic finish. Couldn’t finish the glass"

[2] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (5/31/2005 7:12:47 PM)
"Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Simply called "Elgood’s Winter Warmer" at the festival, and the ABV was listed as 7.2%, not 7.5%, but I take it that this must be the same beer? No other winter warmer is mentioned at the brewery website. The brewery had kept a cask of this winter seasonal for the festival in May. Brown to mahogany colour, minimal carbonation, no head. Caramel, leather and dark fruits in the aroma. Warming mouthfeel, sweet but not cloying. Spices, dark fruits and treacle in the flavour. Hoppy finish. Not bad."
