Winkler Export

Tap to rate

Winkler Export opens with caramel and echoes of oriental spices such as cinnamon, set against a fresh, finely sparkling start. Cinnamon returns, joined by a fitting smoke note and straw in balanced harmony. Under a muted white, fine-pored head that lasts, it unfolds in mouth-blown crystal as well as in a cool stoneware jug. 5.2 % ABV from 12 °P wort.

The nose opens with pronounced caramel sweetness, immediately joined by subtle oriental spice—cinnamon and cardamom notes that recall distant trade routes. A whisper of smoke and straw emerges beneath, grounding the spice in a light, grainy foundation without overwhelming the palate.

◐ Taste

Entry brings soft caramel and a balanced spice character that echoes the nose. The mid-palate maintains smooth drinking with a clean, malty foundation and gentle smoke returning briefly. Noble hop bitterness is restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the Malz and spice to remain the focus while maintaining crisp balance.
