Einstök Winter Ale

The Icelandic brewery Einstök rings in the cold season with an excellent winter ale The beer is brewed with smoked barley from Iceland, the finest malts, Bavarian hops and hand-picked spruce tips and perfectly captures the rugged character of the Icelandic winter

Einstök's Winter Ale comes with a full 8.0% alcohol content and warms body and soul with its unique taste The seasonal beer specialty delights with spicy pine notes and a smoky whiskey aroma

According to the brewery, the Winter Ale is not a beginner's beer and certainly not a drinkable occasional beer Einstök's Winter Ale should be enjoyed with attention and respect by those who have already found their inner Viking Everyone else will probably have to get out into the snow first

The Icelandic Winter Ale presents itself in maroon mahogany in the glass and is adorned with a fleeting veil of hazelnut-brown foam A wintry aroma of gingerbread, roasted malt, caramel and candied red fruits rises from the dwindling crown The fresh and spicy aroma of young, lush green spruce shoots rounds off the olfactory play of aromas and whets the appetite for the first sip This follows on from the olfactory first impression: The winter ale is spicy, slightly smoky, malty sweet and spruce-fresh

A beer for all those who defy the merciless cold of winter and face it with a firm gaze
