Einbecker Winter-Bock has a medium, beige head, a clear, copper, bubbly appearance, and a bit of lacing. The aroma is of brown bread crust. The flavor is of spiced brown bread and cream. Einbecker Winter-Bock has moderate bitterness and sweetness, with a high-medium body and a dry finish.

A fantastic specimen of the winterbock style!

A very rich yet elegant and smooth aroma and taste - of honey, prunes, figs. Glorious amber/copper color, similar to a nice tawny port.

Highly recommend for colder months!

11.2 FLOZ. bottle
Served in a tulip glass

This beer pours a beautiful copper color and is topped with a couple inches of tan head that leaves no trace.

Earthy with some caramel notes.

Earthy flavor with toasted toffee.

Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel

Nice change of pace from the stouts that I have been drinking. It really hits the spot as it warms up a bit.

Copenhagen 10/4 2023. 33 cl bottle from Rewe, Flenburger Galerie, Flensburg. Black, red and white label staring the name of brewery and beer.

Pours clear mahogany with mid-sized yellowish head. Stable. Settles as thin but unbroken layer of foam. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, sugary malty odor mingling with dark fruit and alcohol. Toffee, caramel, bread and brown sugar. Raisins and plums.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, greasy, soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong sourish bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet. Lingers for a bit. Finish is sugary. Semi-dry.

A very sweet take on a brew for the dark months.

Having this beer on tap at the Sachsenheim. Served in a stein mug, this beer draws a clear, dark amber color with a nice white head that’s about an inch thick when first drawn and served. Head eventually settles to a medium size ring lining the inside of the glass at the beers surface along with an excellent film layer surface foam and some pretty good lacing. Aromas of some toasted, bready, caramel malts along with a bit of chocolate and some dark fruit notes of fig and plum. A very similar flavor profile, with toasted, bready, caramel sweetness, a nice Hint of chocolate, and the aforementioned fig and plum fruit notes that give away to the subtle hint of molasses. Just a hint of some floral hops that provide just a slight touch of hop bitterness on the back end of my palate. If I wasn’t looking for it though, there’s a good chance I would’ve missed it. Has a crisp, also smooth, somewhat frothy, medium bodied mouth feel with moderate carbonation. Has a clean finish, and all of the flavors linger very nicely on my palate in the aftertaste. Quite a nice representation of the style of beer, and it is certainly worth a try for sure.

On tap at Prost in Washington DC. Copper in color with a long lasting fluffy white head. Classic dopplebock flavoring. True to style. Medium heavy body with a German hop but slightly sweet finish. A great bar beer especially for the winter.

I had this on draft 12/29/23 @ Laschet's Inn.

See-through purple/brown appearance.

Big khaki head; frothy lacing remained.

Raspberry & mild caramel notes in the nose.

Medium thick, sticky mouthfeel.

Caramel, mild raspberry & cream soda flavors; booze heat emerged as this warmed.

Too sweet for me; drinkable, but not one I'll seek out again.
