Commercial Description:
ØLFABRIKKEN WINTER ALE is a complex double fermented ale brewed to the danish vinter We have fermented this ale with two different yeast strains - first an english ale yeast and next a belgian abbey-ale yeast. It provides an unique combination of fruitiness and robustness backed up by six different malts and beet sugar and belgian candi sugar. Serving: With its malty taste and subdued bitterness this ale is the perfect companion for the lightly spiced, traditional danish vinterdishes with dark meat and vegetables. Ølfabrikken Vinter Ale is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

Draught at BrewPub København, Denmark.
I’m rating this from my slender memories as I had in back in January. I was very drunk and wasn’t really up to rating at the time, but since I haven’t had it since here we go (I will rerate it if they make it again next year....!!). A dark brown beer with a fine well lasting head. Malt, yeast and spices in the aroma. Malty and spicy in the flavor as well with a quite conspicuous yeast note. Full bodied. Good, but could need a little more balance IMO.

Bottle at RBSG. Poured clear medium caramel with a light cap of off-white head. The aroma was sweet with lighter fruit and lightly-smoked toffee coming through toward the back.. almost candied at the end. The flavor was sweeter yet with more caramel and some medium-skinned fruits.. finished with some oxidation in the likeness of dark fruits.. quite dry at the end. Medium-bodied with OK balance on the palate.. felt a bit past its prime, but still aiight.

Tasted from bottle at RBSG. Amber color. Bubblegum aroma. I’m getting tired of using this descriptor (even though I like it), especially for a beer like this, which shouldn’t have bubblegum in the aroma. Is a byproduct of Abbey yeast? Light carbonation. Sweetish.

Bottle. Nice head with medium duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are rich with spices and dark fruits. Malt and caramel as well.

Deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet spicy flavor with caramel notes and toasted malt. Warming alcohol in the end.
