The Bush de Noël was introduced in 1991 to respond to consumer demands for the ideal beer to add lustre to their end-of-year celebrations.
The Bush de Noël is brewed solely from malts, hops, candy sugar and water. It is a filtered, top-fermented beer with an alcohol volume of 12%. The use of caramel malts produces a copper-coloured beer with a full, rounded taste. The Bush de Noël owes its fruity taste and subtle hop aromas to the well-thought out choice of hops in this brew.
The Bush de Noël is brewed in limited volumes but has already achieved the status of a classic beer for the end-of-year celebrations.

Color marrón ambarino opaca, fina capa de espuma cremosa color beige claro. Delicioso aroma a fruta seca (pasas, ciruelas), pera madura, caramelo, frutos secos... En boca es moderadamente densa y sedosa, cálida, maltosa, dulce, profunda, notas de levadura, pasas, algo de chocolate, ligerísimo toque de frutos rojos y banana madura. El final es seco, moderadamente amargo y ligeramente licoroso. Perfecta para hallar paz, calor y confort hogareño en un frío invierno. Muy buena

Bottled. Poured red brown with smallish thin head. Lacing minimal. Dark fruity aroma. Berries, alco. Taste is brown sugar and malts. Alco burn and some hops. Pretty carboned up. Well done.

Bottle at home, 2017 version after 1 year of cellaring. Pours deep copper with beige head. Nose is malts, dried fruits and a boozy touch. In taste it’s like a barleywine/strong belgian ale mix: malty, fruity, boozy and there’s a yeasty Belgian character to it too. Medium to heavy body, soft carbo, true dessert beer.

bottle from the cheese man! thanks!
Nice amber/brownish pour, and we got floaters! A nice 2 fingers of beige head round it off. Aroma is full of ripe fruit, apples, pears, plums, and figs, with some candi sugar, and quite a bit of alcohol. Flavour is BOOZY, very warm all the way down. Finishes quite sweet, with a big yeasty note. A perfect winter sipper. My bottles says it’s 13% not the 12 indicated here.

Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, herbs, sweet dark fruits, candy sugar. Flavour is heavy sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Cloying and sticky. Slightly boozy, but the high ABV is relatively well-hidden. I can see its appeal, but this way too sweet for my taste.

Необычайно крепкий (12%) Бельгийский Эль. Цвет очень необычный, светло коричневый, пена полностью отсутствует. Аромат приторно карамельный. Во вкусе чувствуется карамель и сухофрукты. Пиво действительно крепкое, слегка напоминает Квадрупель. Хотя при этом вкус алкоголя совершенно не ощущается.
