I recently tried Red Hook's Winter Hook Winter Ale. Of all the winter warmers I've had, this is probably my favorite. (Of course, I'm not entirely unbiased since I'm generally a fan of both Red Hook and ales.)
Winter Hook is flavorful without tasting like it's been flavored (if that makes sense). It doesn't have a fruity or spicy taste which many winter brews tend to have, and that goes a long way with me. It isn't too heavily carbonated, so it is quite drinkable without feeling watery. Slightly bitter with a dry finish.
Not the typical winter brew, but definitely one I'll buy again.
