Winter Lager is a delightful beer that embodies the essence of the winter season. As a dark Dunkel Lager, it possesses a rich and robust character that is perfect for those cold winter nights. This beer is expertly crafted with a variety of roasted malts, resulting in a complex flavor profile that is sure to satisfy any beer connoisseur.
One of the defining characteristics of Winter Lager is its deep, dark color. The roasted malts used in the brewing process give this beer its beautiful mahogany hue, reminiscent of a cozy fireplace on a snowy evening. The color alone sets the stage for the warm and inviting experience that awaits.
Upon taking the first sip, one is immediately greeted with the flavors of roasted malt. The toasty and slightly sweet notes dance on the palate, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. The roasted malt imparts a subtle caramel-like sweetness that is balanced by a touch of bitterness, resulting in a well-rounded taste.
What sets Winter Lager apart from other beers is its aging process on Saxby's whole coffee beans. This infusion of coffee adds another layer of complexity to the beer, introducing notes of chocolate and hazelnut. The coffee beans contribute a gentle bitterness and a hint of earthiness, which perfectly complement the roasted malt flavors.
The aroma of Winter Lager is equally enticing, with the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting from the glass. The combination of the roasted malts and the coffee beans creates a tantalizing aroma that fills the air, inviting you to take that first sip and indulge in the beer's rich flavors.

Whether enjoyed by the fireside or at a festive gathering, Winter Lager is the perfect companion for those chilly winter nights.
