On tap at the source as "Winter Ale". Very dark brown with a tan head. Lots of caramel in the aroma, toffee, nuts. A veritable malt bomb. Sweet with a mild bitterness at the finish. Thick. Rich. Alcoholic. Done very much in the style of a bock. Good.

On tap at the source. Virtually black with a tan head. Aroma is lightly mild chocolate with hints of berry, or, more unkindly, nail polish. Taste is lightly bitter, sour, before delving into an increasing sweetness leading into the finish. Dry. Full bodied. Good.

On tap at the brewery. Pours yellow gold with a foamy white head. Typical banana and spice aroma. Taste is sweet, a touch sour at the finish. Body is medium. A decent example of the style, but not a lot of depth.
