Jan 28, 2006 Dopple bocks have often been called "liquid bread" and that is a very apt descriptor. These beers are rich, delicious, sweet malty and warming brews. Gordon Bierch pays tribute to this tradition, and their version is true to their German inspiration.
Gordon Biersch WinterBock pours to a beautiful, deep brown, almost black color with a creamy tan head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is wonderful, with very deep toasty and sweet malty aromas. The palate is rich and delicious with more sweet malt, toasty, and nutty flavors. The mouth feel is very full and slick on the tongue as it slides down the throat. This beer finishes with more wonderful big sweet malty and toasty flavors, and ends with a soothing, warming, alcohol burn.
This is a very impressive example of German dopple bock, from a brewpub chain that specializes in German beer styles. I tried a number of dopple bocks on a recent trip to Germany, and this beer fairs well against the Bavarian classics. I have found the DC location of Gordon Biersch to be doing an outstanding job, and I have never had a beer here that I have not been impressed with.

Oct 22, 2000 Hearty and robust, high ABV and a nice hop bite, well balnced with the malts makes this a Winter favorite. As a lover of bocks, it’s good to see one for the long cold Winter’s here in Phoenix? Ha Ha, eat your heart out Detroit!

Dec 23, 2008 On tap at Gordon Biersh at Terminal D of the Washington Dulles Airport. I was expecting the Blond Bock, but got the Winter instead. This is probably much more in line with my taste. Clear ambar colur, with a small tan head; nice malty sweet aroma; and even nicer malty sweet flavour. Balanced aftertaste. With afour hour layover, I will have another.

Jan 8, 2002 Wonderful surprise, stopped in San Fran and had to have a GB. This is a very good bock, wonderful color and a very warming brew. Just right for a damp evening in the city by the bay.

Dec 6, 2008 Draft - DC. Dense brown, creamy light tan head. Brown sugared raisin and dark toasty aromas ride soft wafts of cherry and smoke. Malty warm fig and raisin flavors balance on soft touches of smoked cherry throughout. Rounds with a nice hop bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Well done in my book...

Jan 11, 2004 One of the few Biersch beers with a tan head. There's a bit of molasses in the aroma. This is an easier-drinking version of the traditionally higher alcohol variety. Slight coffee/mediciney flavors, rich in character but a bit thin in mouthfeel.
