"Zinnebir X-Mas? No, WINTER MESS!
The name has changed, not the recipe! Our winter beer is back, with her caramel and chocolate flavours, the creamy foam, her fruity nuances, and her dry and bitter finish."

Bottle from FinestBelgianBeers. Pours a hazy mahogany colour with a thick creamy beige head. Quite a lot of sediment. Nice looking beer with nice lacing. Aroma is of caramel, dry dark fruits, stone fruits, slight roasted malt, spicy, toasty and brown sugar. Taste is quite similar with some added zesty citrus (orange and grapefruit) notes on the palate. Prickly mouthfeel with a big hoppy earthy bitterness and a long spicy dry finish. Light to medium bodied. Quite unique. A nice enough sipper.

Draught at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Orange brown coloured with beige creamy head. Aroma is ultra malty, caramel, creamy, bit roasty. Taste is smooth malty caramel with a tiny bit of bitterness. Slight funkiness. Not too sweet and bit of spice. Always love a Zinnebir Xmas. Rerate under the new name, Dec 16. Lovely aroma of fruit and caramel. Nice yeastiness. Very nice. Orange sticky sweetness, but touch of bitterness too. --- Beer merged from original tick of Winter Mess on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Found in Ermelo. Malt, licorice and anis both in aroma and flavor. Pepper. Thinnish and sweet. Pleasant enough, but lacks body.

Bottle. Dark brown color. Malty caramelly, slightly spicy aroma. Malty yet fairly dry, spicy flavor with anis, cardemom and cinnamon. caramel. Hint of laurel. Roast lingering on in the aftertaste. Well made beer.

Flesje thuis gedronken. Roodbruin troebel bier, flink schuimend tijdens inschenken. Schuimkraag blijft lang staan. Aroma is moutig maar niet veel geur. De smaak is ook moutig en een beetje zoet. Licht bittere koffieachtige nasmaak.

Fles gekregen van Inoven. Het is een donker roodbruin bier met een volle schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige wat gebrande geur. De smaak is gebrande mout, wat zoet, caramel achtig met een bittere afdronk.
