Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. As Sante Bee. Aroma is spicy, but not the onslaught of Christmas spices I expected. Notes of liquorice root, dark malt, caramel, toffee and a hint of dried fruits. Flavour is medium sweet, body is medium.

Dark brown, beige foam. Sweet, caramel, dried fruit, some fruity notes. A bit raw and unbalanced.

Backlog October 2009 as Boelens Santa Bee. Amber body with floaters and a huge beige head. Aroma of malt and mild spices. Taste is sweet malt and honey with some kind of sourness. Drinkable but feels a bit unbalanced.

330ml bottel [as Santa Bee]. Opalescent, chestnut colour with ruby glimmer and huge, firm, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Sweet-ish, caramel malty aroma, rather waxy, hoppy overtones with a grassy and floral touch. Taste is minimally sweet, caramel malty and grassy, herbal hoppy, slightly fruity, slightly sugary, notes of caramel, rock sugar, a touch of brown sugar, hints of dark berries, plum, sweet cherry, a touch of port, dry hoppy counterpart. Sadly quite overcarbonated in such an amount, that the prickly effect on the tongue prevents a more intense sensation of flavours.

Intensely cloudy with an off-white frothy head. Much too much yeast. When pouring the beers gushes out of the bottle. Yeasty aroma, herbal with apricot and apple. Full bodied, herbal and yeasty flavor. Buttery with licorice, some sourness, blackcurrant, cherry and chocolate. Fairly complex strong beer, but has to be improved to make a real impression. Bottle, sold as Santabee. Dark brown color. Citrus and a hint of mint in the aroma. Citrus flavor with a hint of chocolate and mint. Not too spicy, likeable beer (7 3 7 3 13 = 3.3)

Bottle from Beerwulf, thx to a friend, as Santa-Bee. Thought I would have rated this already, but apparently not. Slight hazy copper color, medium frothy head. Aroma of caramel and toasted malts, slight autumn spices, bit molasses. Bit sweet in taste, slight burned caramel. Decent belgian strong ale.
