…get down with winter beer. The Summit Winter Ale is a darker beer that can be enjoyed by those whose palates are more accustomed to enjoying lighter offerings. The subtle coffee and caramel/chocolatey floavor is what I like most about this beer. You can definitely have more than a few without feeling overly full, in contrast to what a lot of people generally think drinking dark beer will do for the stomache. Compared to Sam’s Winter or Schell’s Snowstorm, I would definitely take Summit over either of these any day.
