Seasonal craft beers you need to try

👋 Deehan here. Welcome back to my look at winter seasonal beers from local breweries.

Snow on the Maple Tree 2023 by Clown Shoes, Boston, Mass.

• Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon

Deehan's quickie review: Packs a punch with a LOT of flavor, maple and malt. At 11% ABV, it's a good thing it's the only one of the beers I reviewed that came in a 12oz can instead of a 16oz one.

Grade: A

The Future is Unwritten by Small Change Brewing Company, Somerville, Mass.

• English dark mild

Deehan's quickie review: 3.1% ABV brews like this tend to be a little flaccid, but this is still richer than your typical light lager. Consider it a session ale for when you're sick of lager.

Grade: C, but the can art by Jessica Gaddis is an A.
