75 cl. bottle sample @ 18th Christmasbeer festival in Essen. Apparently this was intended to be a stout. Dark brown / fox red amber with a solid white head. Smell is sweet herbs, fruits, wild berries, twigs & sugar. Taste is soy sauce, the yeast couldn’t handle the final alcohol level?; dark malts, brown sugar, syrup, light bitter hop, yeasty with spices, overripe dark fruits & cough syrup. Okay body, could be a touch fuller, not very stout like, sorry. It is agreeable to me.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Brune foncée, col fin beige allant sur café au lait. Arôme malté grillé, bouquet chocolaté avec un rappel de massepain. En bouche, malt grillé très agréable voire une pointe de fruits noirs, fini est grillé, note de caramel et une certain douceur sucrée plus un côté vieux grains. Au final cette version hiver se distingue par le possible ajout d’épices qui se fait légèrement présent en bouche et moyennement au nez.

Sampled at OBER Kerstbierfestival 2012. Hazy a bit murky brownish color, small quickly disappearing off-white head. Smell and taste malts, alcohol, caramel and some sweetness. Fizzy carbonation, medium body. Ok beer but nothing more than that.

Bit cloudy mud brown beer, creamy light beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. aroma: pretty spicy, overripe to rotten fruits, bit sweet, definitely something off. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: cough syrup, sugary, little bitter, caramel, overripe fruits. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, dried fruits, something nasty. Can't put my finger on it, but something is terribly wrong with it.
