Stevens Point St. Benedict's Winter Ale

I'd never heard of Stevens Point Brewery before, so I made sure to include one of their varieties in the mix-a-six I put together last week.  It's winter time, so I went for their St. Benedict's Winter Ale:

Impression:
I was hoping this would be a delicious, dark, malt-forward beer with dark fruit characteristics, and it hit the mark perfectly.  The nose carries some good sweet and spicy notes that almost seem Belgian.  The caramel and sweet malt characteristics stood out the most to me, both in the nose and on the tongue.  This beer is interestingly complex and well balanced, with a medium-full body and a creamy finish.  It kind of reminds me of a fuller, slightly spicy dubbel; I would love to try this one on tap, but I'd settle for another bottle to tuck back in my stash.

Cheers!
