Tap at the OBER Kerstbier festival, Essen 2014. Poured a hazy dark brown with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is nutty malt, yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter with a strong malty bitter yeast palate. Moderate bodied with average carbonation.

Sampled draft @ O.B.E.R. Kestbierfestival 2014. (Thx!) Dark hazy brown, beige head. Nose is werid, candy, spice, malt, cold coffee. Taste is not entirely right, herbal, malt, bitter leaves, grainy, odd bitterness,… Cold coffee body. Disappointing, especially coming from this brewery.

Duysters’ winter beer, with an irregular, off-white, quickly dissolving head and very dark brown colour, near to black. Strongly hopped aroma (as in: leafy European hops), bitter chocolate, roastedness, graininess, sourish and even a bit wry in the end, low carbo. A bit weird and unbalanced.

15cl draft sample @ Kerstbierfestival ’11, Essen. Cuivrée, col fin beige. Arôme de fruits noirs, levure belge typique, pomme caramel. En bouche, fruits noirs, malt caramel, carbonnation moyenne faible. Profile malt est présent mais léger pour une bière à 9% tout en restant bien belge sans vraiment apporter qcq chose de nouveau.

Imported from my RateBeer account as Duysters Winterbol (by Brouwerij Loterbol (was Duysters)):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 15/20, MyTotalScore: 3.5/5
17/12/2011 on tap @ Kerstbierfestival (Essen) - BB: n/a (2011-714)
Bells are very slowly coming up in the glass, like a nitro draught stout. Pretty cloudy purple brown beer, small white head, more like just a couple of bubbles. Unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: dusty, wood, bit of raisins. MF: very little carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity, strawberries, some sour citrus notes, bitter hops. Aftertaste: very dry, bitter ending. Very English feel to it.
