The Whistler Brewing Company is, as its name suggests, is located Whistler, BC. Proving that it's not just great skiing that the area should be known for. Founded in 1989 within the first 5 years of the Canadian craft brewing revolution. This Winter Dunkel is a special edition and was first brewed for selected restaurants and beer cafes. The response was enough that they decided to bottle it for the masses.
This brew had a beautiful deep dark brown colour with a light brown foam top.
It smells strongly of espresso with sweet undertones of chocolate and citrus.
The taste starts with some chocolate and citrus, with malt and espresso notes coming in and just gently fading away leaving the chocolate and citrus notes lightly lingering.
It has a somewhat silky mouth feel and it drinks a little bit towards the thick side.
Overall it is a nice beer to sip in front of the fire, or to enjoy in any other winter setting. Even paired with desserts or food it will be a nice accompaniment.
