i got it as "ayinger winter-bock" which seems to be the actual name. dark red-brown colour, solid head. quite dry start. with roasted-malty aromes of toffee but primarly dry. later taste of caramel, ends with spicy aromes of herbs, cinnamon, cardamom, coffee. rich and full arome.

Bottled as "Ayinger Winter Bock". A dark red near to black beer with a nice creamy light brown head. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel. Sweetish taste with malt, caramel, nuts and toffeee. Medium bodied, quite long bittersweet aftertaste. Not as good as the "Celebrator" but this is a very good warming beer.

(500 ml bottle) Malty, spicy and bit smoky aroma. Dark brown, almost black appearance. Bit dry, spicy flavor, brisk palate. Great winter beer with warming character.

From tap (Bruuveri, Helsinki). Roastiness, liqourice, chocolate, coffee. Very dense and pleasant. No bitterness. Alc doesn’t push thru. Very very nice bock.

Draught at Panimoravintola Bruuveri, Helsinki (as Ayinger Winter-Bock). Very dark red-brown in colour with a creamy, fluffy pale beige head. Lots of caramel in the aroma. Some doughy malt and hints of liquorice. On the palate, it has fruit cake and treacle malt, tempered by a subtle tart bite The mouthfeel is smooth and clean but not too sweet. Not a lot of body for the style. Perhaps a bit light, but quite tasty.

courtesy of oh6gdx - clear dark reddish-brown colour, elusive foam; aroma of caramel, wort and candi sugar; sweet and quite full-bodied, no real bitterness and a moderate caramelish finish - looks like a "caramalz"; a deception

Keg (One Pint, Helsinki) Black, thick head. Sour aroma. Feels great in the mouth.Rich, dark, and sweet. Excellent beer. ===== Previous: (5-5-6-2-12=3.0) 500ml bottle. No appreciable aroma at first, but a smooth but somewhat nondescript aroma does come through eventually. Taste ranges from creamy to bitter to metallic. The keg version is better than this sample.
