Winter beers are my favorite. They are during winter, anyway. In addition to anticipating Tippy Toboggan, I also greatly look forward to Capital's Winter Skål. I'm not sure how a Vienna lager became the brewery's winter seasonal as this is not an especially hearty brew - their many doppelbocks are more generous with their malt - but it is a bit heavier than the beers in their regular line-up.
Not a liquid bread like their Dark Doppelbock, which is also out now, it has a wonderful roasty caramel taste to it without being syrupy. I personally wouldn't mind a bit more of those spicy hops. Regardless, I've been enjoying Winter Skål on snowy nights for years and will do so until I die or they stop making it, whichever comes first.
