Wind bites at the old factory walls in Jonsered, and inside the brewhouse a beer simmers that was built for exactly this kind of cold — heavy with cinnamon, orange peel and malt, like a liquid version of your grandmother's Christmas baking.

Expert description of Poppels Winter Warmer 2025

Poppels Winter Warmer is the brewery's annual take on an English-inspired winter ale, brewed in Jonsered just outside Gothenburg. The style draws on the old tradition of hearty "warmer" beers meant to keep the body warm through the coldest months, and the 2025 edition is spiced with orange and cinnamon over a solid malt backbone. Poppels is known as Sweden's largest organic brewery, and Winter Warmer is built with the same craft approach as the rest of the range.

The malt gives the beer its russet colour and full body, while the added spices layer on a festive character. Bitterness stays restrained, letting the malt and fruit sweetness carry the beer, backed by a rich, almost syrupy texture.

Fruitcake, orange peel and warm cinnamon mingle with sweet, roasted malt and a hint of dried apricot.

From Tartu in Estonia comes a stout that isn't afraid to spice things up - rye malt gives Seven Seas of Rye a spiced bite that classic bourbon stout doesn't have.

Expert description of Andersons Craftbeer Seven Seas of Rye Wild Turkey Bourbon BA

Andersons Craftbeer Seven Seas of Rye is a massive, dark and deeply aged Imperial Stout at 13.5% from the Estonian brewery Andersons Craftbeer in Tartu, where the rye malt's spiced edge meets intense sweetness, dark malts and pronounced character from Wild Turkey bourbon barrels. The beer appears jet-black in the glass with a thick, oily viscosity that already signals its heavy, concentrated nature.

The aroma opens with dark chocolate, burnt caramel, rye bread and roasted malts, followed by distinct bourbon notes from the Wild Turkey barrels: vanilla, oak, warm spices and a pronounced alcoholic sweetness. The flavour is full-bodied, creamy and intense - the rye malt gives a spiced, lightly peppery edge that plays against the dark malts' notes of cocoa, espresso, liquorice and caramelised sugar.

The finish is deep and lingering with dark chocolate, toasted oak, bourbon, rye spice and a sweet, warm tail. The combination of rye, dark malts and bourbon makes the beer complex, intense and surprisingly balanced - made for those seeking a heavy, barrel-aged and spiced stout experience.
