Unfiltered, Malt-Aromatic Brewing Specialty

By brewing Hofbräu Winterzwickl with Munich malt, light barley malt, and caramel malt, a robust, full-bodied flavor with subtle hints of caramel, chocolate, and a delicate roasted malt note is achieved. In the glass, it unfolds a creamy foam and a rich dark brown color with noticeable yeast cloudiness. The hop varieties Perle and Herkules provide spicy hints of orange, cedar, and black pepper. Light fruit aromas and its delicate malt sweetness linger longer.

Therefore, Hofbräu Winterzwickl pairs particularly well with hearty winter dishes such as game, goulash, stew, a hearty cheese selection, as well as sweet desserts and chocolate cake. As a seasonal specialty, it is available from the end of October to mid-January, fitting perfectly with the cold season.
