Une couleur acajou festive et généreuse illumine le verre. Un soupçon de parfum de noix se dégage au-dessus de la mousse teintée d’une couleur noisette. La douceur du malt se marie discrètement et harmonieusement avec les tendres pointes d’amertume qui évoquent le chocolat. Un goût de malt très plaisant vient ponctuer la finale en bouche.

Drank at the Luxembourg Christmas market. Deep red with a tan head. Toasted malts, a touch of sweet fruit, light roast, a hint of toffee. Medium to full body. Maybe not super interesting but totally fine and easy going.

0,33 l bottle out of the big box from Erzengel. Thanks a lot! Clear dark red brown in the glass with a more than one finger beige frothy head. Sweet malty caramel smell. Taste starts thin, little malty, metallic hints. Also not realy complex in the second part. Boring. Can not really convince.

Bottle from Woodman's Oak Creek, 2/5/20. Labeled Christmas Lager. Aroma is oddly skunky with some caramel and toast. Taste is caramel, toffee, cherry, tea leaves, a hint of skunk. Medium bodied, slick and oily, flat. Odd but not bad.

Thanks to Erzengel for that one! Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass brownish, nice head. Starts fine malty, modest spicy, a bit dry. Light fruity notes of raisins. Finish well balanced, a bit boring-malty. Okay.

A bit late for Christmas beer, but never mind. Pours a dark amber color topped with a decent slightly off color head. The aroma is quite strong - hoppy, slightly soury and yeasty. The taste is mild and creamy. There’s some malts and roasty feel, as well as some nice easy bitterness. A very decent one.
