Wolfshöher Wintertraum

Tap to rate

Wolfshöher Wintertraum is the brewery's winter speciality, sold from November to February and brewed from 13.4 °P original gravity to 5.6 % ABV. The brewery describes a pale, round special beer with pronounced fullness. It pours pale gold and clear under a modest head. The nose is malty, with caramel and a light sweetness; the palate brings grainy malt, gentle residual sweetness and caramel, with fruity and herbal touches, before a discreet hop bitterness in the finish.

◐ Taste

The palate unfolds with grainy malt at the entry, building into a soft, residual sweetness that spans the mid-palate. Caramel and light fruit notes—stone fruits and subtle citrus—interweave with the grain, while a gentle herbal dimension adds complexity without overshadowing the malt backbone.
