Tasted as Brassin d’Hiver des Fagnes and as Super des Fagnes Noël. A misty dark chestnut brown Christmas ale with off-white head and light spicy and caramelly profile with dried fruits and some grassy hop bitterness in the finish as well as warming alcohol. Cliché and not outstanding, like their other beers.

Bottle 0,25cl. Dobre i smaczne, tresciwe, rozgrzewajace, przyprawowe. Swieze jagody, daktyle i sliwka w czekoladzie. Piana sredia ale wystarczajaco trwala. Ciemnawe. ciemno bursztynowe prawdziwe piwo swiateczne. Bardzo tresciwe i sycace, wspaniale pasowalo do sera, takze belgijskiego.

4.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
Dunkelbraune Farbe, cremefarbener Schaum. Der Geruch ist alkoholisch-malzig. Im Antrunk ist das Bier malzig-trocken, dazu sticht eine scharfe alkoholische Note heraus, die ich bei 8,5% noch nicht erwartet hätte. Der Hauptteil ist von dieser alkoholischen Schärfe geprägt, dazu malzig-vollmundige Aromen im Hintergrund, weicher Toffee, helle Schokolade. DEr Nachgeschmack ist - neben der Schärfe, lang anhaltend, aromatisch-schokoladig-karamellartig, eigentlich mild und weich.
--> Ohne die alkoholische Note wäre es bestimmt ein leckeres Bier. Mit dieser aber leider alles andere als ein Genuss! Schade. Trotzdem vielen Dank an Kölschtrinker, der mir dieses Bier aufgetrieben hat.
Test vom 26.12.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,8,6,6,12,6 - 7,20
