(Bottle, 0.33 l, as Santa-Bee at Oud Arsenaal) The beer poured dark brown and almost clear. Its head was medium sized, long lasting and lightly brown shaded white. Aroma had cloves, malts and yeast. Palate was medium bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were clove, spices, hops, malts, yeast and bitterness. Aftertaste was dry and malty. Ok beer but bit too spicy and also boring.

Draft at Churchkey, as Santa Bee. Dark reddish brown with tiny edge head. Aroma resembles a Rodenbach. Taste is like a dry hopped Rodenbach Alexander. Very nice stuff.

Bottle, Antwerp Oude Arsenaal with dad Feb 2010. Another one that is unticked in my notebook that I’ve forgotten to add. Pours hazy dark brown with an off-white head. There is a hint of cherry or other sour fruit in here, soft in mouth, bit tangy with a tinge of bitterness. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle, as Santa Bee, from trade with jbrus. It gushed out of the bottles, leaving lots of floaties in the dark orange-brown body. Diminishing off-white to beige head. There’s some milky sourness in the aroma, a nice spice addition, almost glühwein-like, with caramel in the back. Honey-sweet flavor with chrismas spices and some caramel. Some bitterness in the finish, but mostly spices. Medium to full body. A quite nice beer, but a bit hard to understand. 091016

Bottle, 8.5% as Santa-Bee. Malty and yeasty aroma, baking yeast. Dark brown colour, red shine. Has a little floating bits. The flavour is nicely malty with a bit of sweetness and sweet spices. Some vinous notes with a distinct, but good alcohol flavour. Some yeast in the aftertaste. OK balanced and a good example of a christmas beer.

Bottle at De Kelk (as Santa Bee). Pours very dark with floaties and a huge, lacing, creamy off-white head. Aroma reminds of Xmas greenery. Medium plus body with very creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark malt, with touches of spruce and floral hop. Fairly complicated. Finishes towards dry with a touch of heat. Enjoyed this.

(33cl bottle, as Santa Bee) Hazy, deep amber colour with a huge off-white foamy head. Sweet cara-malty and distinctively fruity aroma with notes of redcurrant. Surprisingly burnt bitter flavour, also minimal tart with a light to moderate malty sweetness, medium to full bodied with a rather soft carbonation. Toasty and fruity taste with notes of caramel and licorice; the sweetness gets stronger towards the vinous-fruity and light alcoholic finish. The components do not fit very well together but it works for me anyway (02.VI.09).
