| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 20, 2007 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.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2007 Updated: Dec 17, 2009Rerate: bottle 500ml (Alko) (6-4+-7-4-14=3.5)
BLack, brief tan head. Plummy aroma. Smooth palate, gentle tingle of
carbonation. Sticky roasty malty retronasals, a touch marmitey. Decent
full roasty body. slightly spikey thin hopping. Good but not as good
as the best keg.
Rerate of Keg (One Pint, Helsinki)
Black, thick head. Sour aroma. Feels great in the mouth. Rich, dark,
and sweet. Excellent beer.
Rerate of 500ml bottle (5-5-6-2-12=3.0)
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. fonefan (11866), VestJylland, Denmark
