I liked the Cold Mountain way more than I was anticipating! Sorry Boston friends, I enjoyed it more than the Winter Warmer. I could certainly taste the hops, and I enjoyed having them to balance the spices. Highland Brewing (located in Asheville for you North Carolinians) says that the spices vary from year to year depending on available, best quality ingredients. Think vanilla & hazelnut! Fun fact: This beer is named after an actual NC mountain peak! I enjoyed this beer so much that I really want to go out and get a six-pack! Now if only I had that fireplace to curl up beside...
I paired this beer with a left over black bean burger on a bed of greens topped with guac & an easy fried egg! That's my kind of comfort food (and drink)!
CHEERS!

Better than Winter Warmer?! I'll have to give it a shot ;)
If it's even better than the winter warmer I definitely want to try it! We only get Highland on tap sometimes at our pub, but I'll check for it tonight!
Why do you always have to make me so hungry?
Since I happen to live very close to Asheville, I can tell you that pretty much all bars and pubs around here keep Highland beers on tap.
I'm so excited for wintery beer! I wonder if I can find that brew out here
I found your blog via Elf 4 Health and I'm so glad I did. I LOVE beer and I'm loving your blog!!!
