winter ale
Cold-weather dark beer
Winter ale is a seasonal beer brewed for cold weather, typically darker, stronger, and more full-bodied than standard ales.
These brews often feature warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger, with higher alcohol content to suit fireside drinking: The brewery releases its winter ale right after Thanksgiving.
Also called winter warmer.
