COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Winternacht (winter night) captures the rich, roasty flavor enjoyed on the coldest nights. In the authentic German Altbier tradition, Winternacht is top-fermented to impart the character of an ale and cold-conditioned for the smoothness of a lager. Sipping Winternacht's hearty combination of specialty malts balanced with a slightly aggressive hop presence is a welcom warming from winter's icy chill.

Hearty, warming big beer. Deep roasted malt aroma and flavor, light spices lend to a little dryness in the finish. Top rate brew.

a good strong malty brew. I just love winter beer, nice and spicy with a warming affect. I also love the lable and the 7% alcohol
