Bottle with cork 0,75ltr: Clear brown coloured brew with an subtle nutty taste, an Corsican speciality. Hints of caramel and fine bitter aftertaste. Nice mediterrean Christmas brew.

clear amber colur, medium sized dense ecru-ish off-white head; aroma and taste is fully dominated by cinnamon...basically nothing else can be felt...I feel sorry about you, guys, who brewed this sh_t if for you the Christmas means only cinnamon...

Bottle. Pours unclear brown. Aroma is toasted malts, some chestnut. Body is medium, chestnut again, but fading off quickly into water and murky stuff. Lively carbonation. Not bad.

Drought. Brown with reddish tint, small foamy beige head, doughy aroma, fizzy, fruity semi-sweet taste with a bitter coffee ending.

Whole Foods, Bowery sampling (as Pietra Winter, but it seems to be the same beer, especially because of all the references to chestnuts): Pours an amber color with white head. Aroma is slightly floral, with some roasted malts. Body is pretty light. Taste is kind of minimal. I get a bit of chestnut, as some other people opined, but not too much. I’ve brewed beer with chestnut myself before and it is hard to get the taste into it.

Draft @ Delirium, Brussels. Bière qui n’a de Noël que son nom. Cuivrée, au col blanc épais. Arôme garde la signature de cette brasserie dans l’usage de la châtaigne. Le tout sur un malt grillé léger, pointe de levure, houblon en retrait et qui ajoute peu au bouquet. Bière rappeuse au palais laissant ce profile de châtaigne concassées/poudreuse. Cela tend à donner une pointe épicée à la bière. Autrement, je ne vois rien de bien festif, je dirai une bonne voire meilleure version que la blonde et la blanche avec plus de malt. En se réchauffant, malt grillé revient au devant avec la châtaigne, mais on y note aussi un malt type carapils.

750 c&c from the Natomas BevMo. Pours dark copper with a creamy beige head. Aroma is mild caramel with some sort of nutty aspect. Med body. It’s pretty flavorful. First impression is Belgian. There’s caramel, but there’s some non-dark fruit. Mildly spicey. Having recently encountered chestnuts frequently, and noting "chestnut flour" on the label, I’m opining that the mysterious aspect is chestnut. There’s even an oily impression. Light but it’s there. Definitely more dry than sweet. Certainly an unusual ale.

750 ml. Deep, clear amber body. Fizzy, off-white head. Malty aroma of toasted grain, nuts and hints of caramel, spice, earthiness, wood along with some vegetal notes. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. The taste on the front of the tongue is earthy and husky. the finish leaves tastes of wood, caramel, raw grain. Plenty of bitterness, but the malts are dominant throughout.
