Winter is the bitter cold that covers the world with a layer of crystal ice and freezes your breath into little clouds. Winter is hot cocoa after a long walk through the white wonderland, racing down icy hills on a sleigh and gliding across frozen waters on sharp runners. Winter is wrapping yourself in a hundred layers of warm clothing and still being cold. Winter is scraping ice in the morning, slush, anticipation of Christmas, mulled wine after work and pitch black nights just after five in the afternoon. And winter is winter beer.
We endure winter with all its advantages and disadvantages, and this is largely thanks to winter beer. Many traditional breweries bring out brews every year at the end of autumn that are specially designed for the cold, uncomfortable season. This is also the case with Arcobräu: their winter beer is a full-bodied beer specialty that is only available in the winter months. The brew has a warming 5.5% alcohol content and flows into the glass in a festive, shiny gold. A foamy cap in delicate ivory sits on the clear body and smells temptingly of caramel malt, honey and freshly mown grass. The taste continues this wonderful first impression with oven-fresh bread, creamy blossom honey, caramelized grain and grassy hop notes.
The winter beer from Arcobräu is a tasty drink that warms body and soul even on days with sub-zero temperatures.
