COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor's note: The bottled version has been brewed at Herslev Bryghus.

Danish: Denne øl er brygget med en kombination af seks forskellige slags bygmalt og tilsat salvie. Det er en kraftig, krydret og mørk sag. Alligevel er den let drikkelig, og den vil givetvis få mange venner, for Winterstout kan være med til at give varmen i denne kolde tid.

English: This beer is brewed using a combination of six different types of barley malts with added sage. It is a strong spicy and dark beer. But yet it maintains an easy to drink profile and will make many friends. Holbæk Winterstout will help you keeping warm in the cold season.

jesperhammer (1572) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 20, 2012
18-MAY-2012, bottle @home, brought by Morten. Brown with low tan head. Tart nose with sage and a strong berry note - blueberry? Taste the same. Tart. I guess that is not by intent? Must be a fault! I am rating it accordingly.

deyholla (3533) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 25, 2009
Bottle. Poured black with a small light brown head. Aroma was very weak with some roasted malt notes. Flavor also had roasted malts with an undertone of spice, I am guessing the sage.

fiulijn (10430) - Como, ITALY - MAR 12, 2009
Draught at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen
Almost black color. Mild aroma, light Danish yeast, very light smoke. It has a medium mouthfeel, with some caramel and chocolate flavor, and some puckery sourness; from the aroma to the flavor it’s evident that this beer is problematic. Not good.

yespr (22245) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - JAN 27, 2008
From tap, at Den årlige ølsmagning i Valhal. Pours dark brown, slight murky, and with a little creamy tan head. Mild roasted malt and smooth chocolate in the aroma. Slight smoked note to a nice sweet roasted malt flavour. Shows a mild smooth chocolate note asweel. Ends with solid bitterness swept in sweet and smooth chocolate malt. Nice.

Plovmand (4975) - Helsinge, DENMARK - JAN 26, 2008
Draught at Valhal 08. Pours dark brown/black with fast disappearing head. Smoke and roasted malts in the nose. Palate is way to thin for a stout imo. Flavor is smoked malt and coffee. A dissapointment.
