330ml bottle [as Arolser Winterbier, courtesy of Gunnar - thanks a lot!]. Slightly cloudy, dark mahogany colour with ruby shimmer and average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to beige head. Slightly toasty, minimally nutty, malty and slightly grassy, hoppy aroma, a touch of Brazil nut. Taste is moderately bitter and minimally fruity hoppy, slightly toasty, minimally nutty and woody, spicy malty, minimally sweet, subtle hints of caramel malt, a touch of Brazil nut, red berries, liquorice; lingering malty finish. Watery texture, slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Well balanced, relatively meaty, at the same time quite quaffable - good!

Bottle. Clear amber/orange featuring a decent white head. Aroma of malts, honey and faint hints of citrus fruits. Taste of malts, caramel, honey, lemons and some herbs. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. It’s süffig alright. I was surprised there wasn’t more of an Altbier vibe.

Bottle on the train ride from Wurzburg to Bamberg. Smooth brown beer. Not much hop balance. Brown chocolate notes. Simple, enjoyable, good.

Bottle. Clear gold with a regular sized white head. Aroma and taste of grains, butter, straw, malts and minerals. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Bland. I do understand why every brewery in Germany feels the need to have a Helles in their portfolio right now but at least a little bit of effort would be much appreciated.
