Pohjala - Velvet Winter

A gloriously indulgent winter warmer from Estonia's acclaimed Põhjala Brewery, Velvet Winter is a rich, luxurious Imperial Porter brewed with real vanilla pods and fragrant Ceylon cinnamon, creating a wonderfully comforting beer that captures the magic of the festive season.

Pouring a deep, almost-black colour with a creamy tan head, this decadent creation delivers inviting aromas of freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate, sweet vanilla and warming cinnamon. Rich roasted malts provide a beautifully complex foundation, with subtle hints of toasted bread and caramel adding further depth.

On the palate, luscious layers of bittersweet chocolate, espresso and smooth vanilla unfold alongside delicate cinnamon spice. The combination of roasted barley and rye malts creates a rich, rounded character, while the vanilla contributes a luxurious sweetness that balances the darker roasted flavours.

Full-bodied and wonderfully velvety, Velvet Winter finishes with lingering notes of chocolate, warming spice and gentle roasted bitterness. A magnificent fireside companion and the perfect partner for chocolate desserts, festive puddings and cosy winter evenings.
