Commercial Description:
In the 11th century, Bavarian monks brewed large vats of a strong, dark-flavored malt to help sustain themselves during periods of fasting. Its creaminess, combined with just a gentle hint of sweetness, was so well received, the monks actually began to fast more and more often.
Today, the tradition of their Winter Bock lives on. But only through January. So come in to a Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant and order up this full-bodied, dark Winter Bock. It tastes great with all the seasonal favorites on our menu. Or just fine all by itself.

Pour is clear medium dark amber with a decent off-white head which disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet and malty with notes of fruit and caramel. Flavors of smoke, roasted malt, and caramel. Not bad.

I was hesitant to try this as i am not a fan of Gordon Biersch brews. I was wrong on this one. This was a solid top to bottom brew. Pours a darker color than i thought with a nice solid foam head. The smell was slightly weak of anything noticable other than the alcohol. The taste and drinkability were both very good. I was caught off guard by this one and enjoyed it.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. While the flavor is sweet malty with dominating notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of metal and prunes.

Sort of a dark bready aroma. Dark amber color with a not so long lasting beige head. Starts thinly with a bit of dark fruit. Moves on to malt, maybe a bit lightly roasted. It’s ok, but finishes thin rather than full bodied. Some dark fruit aspects. Ok, and after awhile there’s a bit of vanilla hint. Drinkable but not overly memorable.

Bottled. Dark reddish amber coloured. Unclear. Dense beige head. Alcohol, bread, light berries and prunes in the aroma. Flavour of alchol, fruits and herbs. Some caramelly notes. Has a bit "old" taste. Medium bodied. Fruity and qutie alcoholdense end which is strange givning the low ABV.

Draft at GB - Columbus. Poured dark brown with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Solid balanced toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Moderate balanced smooth flavor with a medium malty finish of average duration. Good brew, Chris.
