Old Fezziwig clocks in at a modest 5.9 ABV. The description on the bottle touts lots of specialty malts and spices. Based on the description you would expect to taste caramel, chocolate, nutmeg. cinnamon, and orange. The Beer ours a nice dark brown with a hint of red much like a nut brown ale. Head is minimal. The spices are the predominant smell on the nose with a nice mix of the malts as well. The spice balance is very nice in this beer. The hops take a back seat here and let the caramely sweetness mix with the spices for what is a very enjoyable beer. This is the standout of Sam's winter seasonal ales. The balance is the key to this one and what makes it very easy to drink. The character stays the same even as it warms. Pick up a case of f the same winter mix just for this beer f you must.
