Mistress Winter Wheat
Bonfire Brewing Co.

 

12 oz. Can

Pours a pretty nice brownish color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice one-finger off-white head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, yeasty, with some clove. The taste is malty, yeasty, grassy, clove. Medium body. Overall, a nice little brew.

 

12oz can. Poured out a semi-opaque, brown color with a small white head that left no lacing. Smelled of wheat, grass and clove with a touch of roasted malt. It tasted strongly of wheat, citrus and some clove.

 

a spiced dark wheat with agave and plenty of nutmeg. an interesting take on a winter warmer, and a pretty effective one overall. dark caramel in color with less than a full inch of off white bubbly head. i smell a ton of spice here, from cinnamon to nutmeg and clove, even cardamom, its intense. the agave gives some sweetness, and the dark wheat gives a lot of body and depth beyond the paler offering. the nutmeg is the dominant flavor, but the agave sweetness is there too, light in weight but robust in sugars. not much yeast or hop character here, but it doesnt really fit anyway. if you like a nice spiced winter brew, this is a solid pick. i like that the alcohol is low enough for me to have several of these. the feel is good too, with plenty of bubbles, but this is just a tad overspiced for my palate.
