Commercial Description:

Gnar-Gnar Lumpkin, the shreddingist snowman this side of Nantucket Sound, likes nothing better than catching a wave on his board…a Cisco wave that is, cold, fresh, and wicked cool! Get mad shacked with the Shredder and have yourself a merry little winter.

Why I selected Winter Shredder:
Snowmen want in on the Action too… You guys only think of me when it’s just snowed six inches. You finished shoveling and the kids want you to build them a snowman but you could not be bothered. It’s not nice words you invoked under your breath either. After the kids made me, I light my corn cob pipe, grabbed a board and caught some waves.

When I think of the Christmases I loved as a child, it was chilly out and there was snow on the ground to use my sled. So the snowman with a surf board from @CiscoBrewers just seemed a fitting choice.

Gnar-Gnar Lumpkin and Buddy

 

It pours a medium brown hue with a beautifully colored tan head. The thin head is long lasting, still evident 15 minutes after the pour. Lacing is moderate leaving evidence of the head on the glass. Due to a sneezing fit, my nose is not up to par but it does detect dark roasty (yes I said roasty) malts and the subtlety of a nutty toffee along with some coffee and raisins. Despite the noted presence of alcohol with each sip, Shredder’s bitterness leaves its lasting mark for my tongue to enjoy between sips. Overall, the spices are enjoyable but not overdone leaving me wishing there was more in my glass. Prost!
