Winterbraun

  • Style: English Brown Ale
  • ABV: 8%
  • IBU: ?
  • Pour Color: A brown red color




      Ok head on this one not to fluffy but held for awhile. The scent off the top was coffee and chocolate. You also get a full smell of the high alcohol in this one. The color is a brown to red. The taste is a mix of caramel sweetness. Coffee and chocolate bitter flavors too with a little bit of smoke. The alcohol isn't really in the taste. All and all this is a really malty sweet beer that has little balance to it.
      So this one is beloved by many. I unfortunately don't feel the same. It's just to sweet for me being a mostly malt beer. The chocolate and the smoke I like in dark beers is there but really no bitter to be found. As a hop lover mustache, a bath in this just was just to sweet. Really a good dark beer even though it wasn't in my wheel house!
