Een diepdonker robijnrood bier, gebrouwen met diverse soorten cara-mouten, dat geurt en smaakt naar karamel. De toegevoegde honing zorgt voor een zachte, milde afdronk.

Bottle 10% as Kerst Snol. Good malty aroma, slightly spicy with notes of dark sugar. Looks hazy with a very dark chestnut colour. Big stable rocky off-white head. The flavour is sweet and malty with a good bitterness and some fruity notes. Dried fruit and a pleasant peppery alcohol finish. Pepper and cream aftertaste.

Yeasty fruity and caramel malty aroma, hints of dried fruit, raisin, a touch of dark honey, yeasty spicy overtones with a touch of liquorice.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar, some dark fruity notes, raisins, spicy. Flavour is sweet, a bit sticky. Medium bodied. Could have used more depth, it’s a bit onedimensional. Overall a bit too sweet for my taste.

Van het vat bij Het Smokkelaartje in Strijbeek. Zwart bier met mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met iets van karamel, wat chocolade en wat honing.

Bottle, as Dubbel D Chaams Winterbier. Dark brown color. Caramelly maltaroma with cinnamon. Malty sweet, caramelly alcoholic flavor with hints of spices and coffee. A bit too simple to be good.
