Read from the label art by Hop Grail. Fields checked against the approved label. How we get this data

The artwork

A stylized climber in colorful winter gear—yellow, blue, and green—scales an icy, snow-capped peak that dominates the centre of the label, rendered in bold graphic lines against a bright red background. A lighthouse and coastal landscape in tan and gold occupy the upper left, with horizontal line-work suggesting sky and water throughout. The beer name "Prelude" appears in large gold serif letters, flanked by "Winter Warmer" in white, with the Shipyard Brewing Co. logo and sailing ship at top. A tan sand-coloured band runs across the lower third, containing product details and tasting notes.

From the label

“Originally brewed for the world renowned Prelude festival in Kennebunkport, ME, this medium bodied Strong Ale has been a highly awarded part of the Shipyard family since 1993. Dark amber in color, with aromas of caramel and molasses, Prelude is slightly sweet and nutty, finishing with lingering notes of dark chocolate.”
