Rating from 2010: Schöne dunkelbraun-rötliche Farbe, leicht alkoholischer Geruch mit Malznote. Der Antrunk ist schwer, malzig, leicht alkoholisch. Zum Hauptteil kommen zu der schweren, alkoholischen Note eine angenehme Malzigkeit, die ein paar säuerliche Töne enthält. Der Ng ist mittellang, säuerlich-schwer und durchgehend alkoholisch-penetrant. --> bei "nur" 8% hätte ich mir eine besser ausgewogene Note gewünscht. Viel zu unrund! --> 7/8/6/7

Sample glass at the 2012 Essen Christmas Festival. Dark brown with ruby hints: small off-white/beige head. Very sweet aroma and taste; malty molasses vie for air as the smell hits the nose, this is one sickly brew. I’ve a sweet tooth and I struggled to enjoy this fully: sugary and syrupy throughout, hides the alcohol well, but I could feel my teeth complaining and arteries furring up as I drank the glass! I couldn’t have had more than the one glass, but I’m glad I had the one I did (honest).

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Cuivrée, col beige. Arôme est doux, caramel, avec un bouquet herbacé rappelant les herbes de Noël ainsi que qcq épices. Le reste est dans un style tout à fait belge. Palais est agréable, entre massepain et pain d’épices, le tout garde une certaine douceur maltée et caramel. Une fin note d’amertume se laisse entrevoir mais le tout conserve une onctuosité d’épices boisées de chêne mais aussi d’épices type d’hiver qui aident la bière à se distinguer de nombreuses autres bières de Noêl.
