Wintervrund

◎ Aussehen

A deep red-brown body with pronounced turbidity from the unfiltered wheat and barley base. The head rises with moderate volume and clings to the glass with stable lacing. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate to the warming profile.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with caramel sweetness and cocoa depth, underpinned by herbal juniper and liquorice notes. Wheat contributes a soft, slightly grainy undertone, while warming alcohol emerges gently in the background without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied and malty, with caramel and chocolate notes building across the palate. Spice from juniper and warming alcohol create a rounded mid-palate; bitterness remains gentle at 35 IBU, allowing the sweet and herbal character to dominate. Finish carries liquorice and juniper through to a smooth, lingering close.

◑ Abgang

Medium-long finish, with liquorice and juniper gaining prominence as residual sweetness fades. The warming alcohol provides structure without sharpness, leaving a comforting aftertaste.
