In the 11th century, Belgian monks sustained themselves during winter fasts with beers made from strong, dark flavored malts. These creamy books ensured that the monks would fast frequently.

Had at Norm Minetta International Airport on tap in a pint glass. Rich mahogany body with a small head which disappeared quickly and then no visible carbonation although it didn't taste completely flat. Smell was mostly muted with maybe a hint of cola. Taste was nicely malty with nice caramel hints. Alcohol is well hidden. Not bad.

A brace of 0.4L draught pours at the GB in Harbor East, Baltimore on release night. Just had a brace of the Sam Adams Winter Lager draught pints at Frank&Nics also here in Baltimore yesterday, and this is definitely a richer, fuller ale.

Taste: baker's chocolate, toffee, roasted coffee, caramel, with creamy malt finish. Same with the nose. Dark brown, semi clear, average head and lace. Medium body. Would pair well with dessert. 26 IBUs

Dark brown with a ruby tinge, lots of fine carbonation, clean filtered with a finger of beige head.
Smells of butterscotch, creme brulee, very malt forward with toasted notes. Perhaps some Munich hops?
Very malt forward, toasted bread, sweet, with a little ashy, bitter finish.
Medium, syrupy body with moderate to low carbonation.
Got this at Trader Joe's, drinking in Redding, Dec 3rd, 2018. Decent for the style.

Smooth caramel malty taste
Overall one of the better Gordon Biersch beers. Didn't realize the strong alcohol until I saw it here on the website, which tells me how easy drinking it is.
