Bottled as Santa-Bee (BBE 2009)
Loads of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. Muddy nut brown color, small off-white head. Spicey nose, cardamon, raisins, grapes, dates and licorice. Medium-bodied, slick, toffeish palate, especially when it warms up. Flavor is sweetish, there is some fruity notes like dates but also spices - cinnamon at least. Spiceyness continues in the aftertaste. Hides alcohol very well. Interesting, but "one time only" -beer.

Süßer, etwas bananiger Geruch. Malziger Antrunk, minimal süß, mit deutlich herbem Ton. Im Mittelteil wird’s dann etwas würziger und malziger, immernoch ist es aber für 8,5% sehr mild. Der Nachgeschmack wird bitter, das nussige Aroma ist angenehm. Besser als die 2 anderen von mir getrunkenen Boelens Biere, aber das ist nun auch nicht wirklich schwer. Test vom 17.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,9,8,10,13,9 - 9,20

Bottle: This beer is now named Santa Bee. Poured a dark brown with light brown head. Roasted malt aroma. Sweet malty that had a tangy finish.

Bottled 2002 (christmas girl label) Reddish brown with little white head. Malty and fruity aroma from dried fruits. Very sour (like a beer rouge) - almost cherry like. Medium carbonation. The finish is sour and a bit bitter! Interesting and still drinkable but not the best "kerst" to hid in the basement!

[Vintage 2003 - sampled December 2005] A deep red beer with lots of sediment floating around and with a nice thick light brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy and berry - I pick out cowberries and black currant as well as some wood and yeast, and hints of alcohol. The flavor is sweet but well balanced with a fruity acidity like red currants - a lovely mixture. The flavor also contains notes of wood and yeast, and the alcohol cannot be tasted, but hides in the background and gives You the warmth on a cold winters night.

Chestnut brown, low tanned head. Somewhat muddled aroma: Raisins, wood, citrus, caramel. Flavor has a berrylike note as well, dusty dry yeast, oranges and strawberries in the aftertaste. Fullbodied and warming.

(Bottle 33 cl) The type of beer that virtually "explodes" when the cap comes off. The foam floods out of the bottle and it just keeps on going. By the time, I locate a glass, only half of the original content is left. Aestetically, this scrapes the barrel: muddy grey-brown - pretty much the colour of Chinese river water. When it comes to the flavor it’s a bit like chocolate (milk), actually quite soft and malty with some bitterness. And a lot of sediment - like the bottom of the aforementioned Chinese river. At least a tea spoon full of it. 100104
