Toch heeft een Kerstbier iets speciaals en mag er ietsje méér van verwacht worden. Ietsje meer zegt u? Een van de zwaarste densiteiten van het wort: 22°PL. De ambachtelijke brouwzaal kan een grote storting mout verwerken en men brouwt eréén brouwsel per dag, koking in koperen ketel met rechtsreeks gasvuur en afkoeling in het koelschip, ook in koper.
Er wordt enkel bellenhop uit Poperinge gebruikt. Witte kandij mietten zorgen voor de extra densiteit. De afkoeling gebeurt met een Baudelot-koeler en de gisting gebeurt in open koperen gistkuipen. De lagering duurt minimum een maand en het bier is nagegist in de fles.
Van dit bier wordt de bottledatum vermeld op de capsule.

Poured from 330mL bottle (2025 vintage). Hazed gold with full white head. Belgian yeast, light candi sugar and spices with a citrusy fruit cake underlay. Quite nice, probably even better with some age.

Al servirla con toda su levadura adquiere en la copa un color anaranjado cobrizo, turbio, coronado por una espuma blanquecina de media-alta retención. Emana un aroma rico y complejo, lleno de matices, malta, levadura, naranja, caramelo, pasas, David de trigo, frutos rojos, mazapán, especias…En boca es plena, ligeramente punzante, sabe igual de bien que huele, es realmente asombroso lo bien que esconde tanto en boca como en nariz sus grados de alcohol. Fondo acaramelado ligeramente frutal y licoroso, cierto punto tenuemente agrio, final amargo largo y muy especiado. Contundente y grandiosa...pedazo de cerveza

330 ml bottle. Pours a pale mahogany with full head. Aromas of wood, stewed fruit, fruity esters, sharp honey, and soft toasty malts. Flavors of oaky fruit, honey, candi sugar, Belgian yeast, and more soft toasty malts. Well carbonated and complex. Definitely a fruity vintage. Excellent. Looking forward to aging.

2023 bottle to tulip.
Appearance: dark golden color with a semi-quickly moving head, that seemed like it didn't want to stick around for any show, eh oh well, and obviously no lace
Aroma: bananas, Belgian spices, some dark toast, candied dark fruits, nuttty character and a little bit of vanilla
Flavor: wraps up all the prior noted scents sweetly, spicy and toasty; mild aftertaste of bananas, nuts and candied dark fruits
Texture: medium bodied but seems to be sliding off a bit and perhaps becoming closer to the light side, of sipping quality but even that seems to be coming close to being sessionable, brisk finish of nuts, dark fruits and Belgian spices
Overall: I would want this again, I just need to find a fresher bottle, kinda stinks that the texture showed some qualities of becoming fairly watery.

Half of a vertical comparison between Stille Nacht 2025 and Stille Nacht 1987 No head ot speak of, over red-brown, old cognac-like beer. Rich alcohol/fusels' nose, portwine, but also a whiff of fruit- and other acids, raisins. Sweet-sour, nutty, lactic acid, if quite fruity in character. Ripe banana, raisins. Thinned by aged and alcohol, undercarbonated, warming. Despite its age, still a really superior beer, impressive. Yhe vertical test proves unequivocally that the 1987 is an utterly other beer - and not only because it has only two thirds of the ABV. Hence, I do not agree that all the vintages are considered as batches of the same beer.

Half of a vertical comparison between Stille Nacht 2025 and Stille Nacht 1987 Good, dense white head over hazy orange-yellow beer. White candi sugar, yeast, green leaves, bookleaf. Dry, leafy, alcohol, even fusels if restrained. Dry bananapeel, more really ripe banana warming up, and even guaiacol appearing. Alcoholheat, some -thinning but still creamy, velvety texture. Well carbonated. Young Stille Nacht never really convinced me, but it has excellent aging potential. However, the vertical test proves unequivocally that the 1987 is an utterly other beer - and not only because it has only two thirds of the ABV.

Drucken drygt 15 år gammal. Snygga lagrade smaker med madeira, gula russin, sött dessertvin, torkad frukt. Liiite plattare men fortfarande lite stund. Mycket gott

2025 vintage. Tap at Malto, Riccione, Italy. Pours amber gold, scarcely transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is fruity, with berries, but also honey, melon. Body is average, with fine but not irrelevant carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet. Final is still fairly rich.

A murky brownish orange with a small but present head. Sweet malts, booze, dark fruits, plum, spice, toasted malts, dried fruits, raisin, caramel sauce. Medium bodied. Full bodied. Finish lingers with dried fruits, raisins, and sweet malts. Still rocking.
Drank today so it’s got nine years on it.
