Bottle. Light brown fluffy high but quickly disappearing head. Hazy dark red body. Spicy berries aroma. Sweet and sugary flavor with a good deal of carbonation. Notes of coriander.

Very sweet, almost cloying. Big malt profile of bread, and even bread pudding. NO hops to speak of, just more sweetness with notes of brown sugar, and candi sugar. Just a very very sweet, over carbonated beer.

Marsiblursi (2675) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - NOV 18, 2006
Pours dark. Spicy, sweet, mentholish aroma. Allmond paste. Ripe bananas. Dried plums. Wet tobacco and soil. A bit stale fudge banana sweetness in flavour. A bit peppery. Alcoholy hints, medium body.

Defreni (1909) - Husum, DENMARK - JUN 25, 2009
Flaske: Flot brun øl med et lille skumhoved. Duft af malt. Smagen er igen malt men med en mindre behagelig alkohol burn. Som den varmer op bliver den mere og mere ubehagelig. Ikke en så god øl.

Zeer donker roodbruin bier met gemiddelde lichte kraag. In de geur zijn vooral rozijnen opvallend. De rozijnen komen ook in de smaak zeer duidelijk terug. Verder is het vooral zoet, met wat honing. Dat het eerst winterbok genoemd werd kan ik goed begrijpen, want de smaak van het bier komt goed uit in de winter. Zeker geen klassieke herfstbok. Apart, maar ik ben er niet kapot van. Aan het einde van het glas gaat het zelfs wat tegenstaan.

expected a lot more from this. a bit doughy. perhaps had a bottle which hadn’t aged too well as there was some nastiness in the aftertaste

JensenTaster (1718) - DENMARK - APR 21, 2005
(on bottle) Amber, dar, beige head. What an odd an weird sent of coconut, later some fruits(dried), malts and a irritating aftershave-like alcohol aroma. Lots of prunesweetness, diden´t get the honey until very late. Nice malty finish, but also a nice alcoholkick at the very finish.

A bit too stewed prunes and dates for my tastes. Not too bad though. Honey is quite disguised. Mine was not called winter though??

Dark brown coloured. Fruity aroma with notes of honey. Very sweet flavour. It gets cloying quite fast.

I had this one a long time ago. If I have the chance to drink it again, I’ll update this rating
