Snow Day

New Belgium brewery Snow Day. Thanks to Tammy we had the chance to try this American Black ale today. It was a very enjoyable beer. First impression,  it was fresh and very crisp. Lots of greatt hop aroma and flavor. A little malt sweetness and a little spice.  Almost a touch of cinnamon with its gentle warmth.
Color was a dark caramel brown with great clarity. We were consuming from the bottle so no reports on head.
Some other reviewers have referred to it as a black IPA. I'd have to disagree. At 55 IBU and 6.2% abv. It doesn't have enough bitterness to really fit the IPA profile.  I'm not much of a hop head so this was a little bitter for me. It had a pretty good balance though and I'd probably drink another if I had a chance. I probably wouldn't enjoy a 3 in a row.
