Commercial Description:
WinterVrund a royal beer from Limburg (southern part of Holland). A mix of top and bottom fermentation. Brewed at the end of the year with a different recipe every year. Best to be enjoyed with friends ("frun" in Limburgs) giving you a warming feeling inside for the cold winter months. Wintervrund is like all our beers unpasteurised and environment friendly brewed. The best temperature to drink Wintervrund is between 10 and 12 °C. NOTE: 2007 is actually released in the winter 2007/2008.

Bottle conditioned at A ge Panne, Schin op Geul, NL Limburg. Ruby colour with cream head. What this chap has in his cellar when he gets to know you, and it is a great surprise. This is a smooth Christmas pudding of a beer, Port / Sherry comes to mind too. Raisins, fruit, caramel and spices all mixed in, warming and good.

Dark reddish brown collour with a light tan head. Aroma of spice, apple and red berries. Red berries, spice and maltyness to the flavour with a dry clean finish. The balance is nicly proportioned and the berry and spice flavour isnt overwhelming or pushy and the maltyness helps bring the other flavors to their right.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a low tan head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of berries, and lesser notes of malt, metal, alcohol, fruit - especially apples, and some spices - I pick up cloves. The flavor is quite sweet, but with a good body to back it up, and a very complex mixture of spices (cloves, cinnamon, and coriander), malt, caramel, alcohol, and some fruit. The end is very smooth with notes of spices and caramel lingering around. The alcohol bites slightly in the tongue.

This beer has a licht brown body - hue apperance and a coarse licht brown scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a lot of carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is spice.

from crackedkettle.com - clear and dark ruby colour, little beige head leaving a correct lacing; complex nose of cloves and cinnamon, cherries, apples and blood; sweet with a good malt backbone, a low bitterness and a long aftertaste where the spices and fruits play together again, this time with a touch of warming alcohol - a pleasant surprise

33 cl bottle. Brown ale, rather sweet, with a fine hazel/chestnut aroma. Some Christmassy spices, too, making this a fine winter beer. Some sourness in the finish and a long warming glow. Great stuff!
