Ayinger Winterbock

The Winterbock from the Ayinger private brewery is a seasonal specialty that is only available between November and January The dark Doppelbock is brewed using a special three-mash process and impresses with an aroma-intensive variety of seven different types of malt Once the brewing process is complete, the Winterbock is stored for a full 16 weeks During this time, the beer unfolds its full aroma and develops its round, complex character

In contrast to many winter bock beer creations, this example from Ayinger is not overly sweet: instead of heavy sweetness, the Winterbock delivers a range of strong roasted aromas that are reminiscent of freshly roasted coffee beans and espresso With an alcohol content of 6.7%, the Winterbock is one of the milder beers

The beer presents itself in a deep brown chestnut color in the glass and is adorned with a crown of hazelnut-brown foam A strong, malty aroma rises to the nose and entices you to take your first sip This reveals a full-bodied body with a creamy mouthfeel The malt clearly sets the tone and caresses the tongue with notes of freshly brewed mocha, roasted coffee beans, cocoa and chocolate A hint of spicy yeast and a touch of oven-fresh bread crust skillfully round off the interplay of aromas

The winter bock from Ayinger has a malty variety of delicious roasted aromas and is spicy, velvety smooth and wonderfully full-bodied - perfect for the cold season!
