Commercial Description:
WINTER - A flavorful blend of dark roasted and sweet caramel malts defines this smooth and robust lager. The rich, nourishing flavors of a full-bodied, Munich bock, make this Bavarian style brew the perfect winter warmer.

Not too crazy about this, but it has its strong points. Very smooth and sweet, I think I am burnt out on winter ales. It is pretty dark, so I could drink it with food, but on its own it is a little too sweet for mass consumption.

Not my favorite beer but is better than most winter brews. Didnt have the bitterness that is in these type of beers.

Pours a very dark brown with a thin head, looks reddish when held to the light. Aroma is light but complex, caramel, bread, nuts, and a little smoke. Tastes bland, feels thin.

On tap at the brewery. Darker amber color with thin beige head. Arom is caramel and subtle roasted malt with some nuttiness. Flavor is nutty, caramel, roast malt, and some spice. Medium creamy body. A nice winter warmer style winter beer but still subpar.

Poured deep amber with a thin head. Aroma - Roast malt and caramel. Taste was much the same, roast malt and caramel with some nutty character. Mouthfeel was a bit thin.

Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Smells like caramel and just sweet malt. Flavor pretty much follows the aroma with the malt dominating. The beer is a little thin and watery though. Not what I would describe as a winter brew.

16 oz. bottle courtesy of Bockyhorsey - Pours a clear brown color with a 1/2 finger thick off white head. Light spotty lacing. Has a sweet doughy toasted malt aroma. Flavor is sweet toasted malt. Light to medium body. Easy to drink. Thanks Bill.

Slight off-white head. Dark brown color. Faint malty aroma, perhaps a bit of burnt coffee? Taste was slightly bitter, faint hop and malt flavor, mostly a toasty flavor. Thin, almost oily body. Overall, not a lot to it.
