Onze vroegere klassieker, de Xmas, werd aangevuld met een speculoos-kruidenmengsel van Stef de Feyter (Damiaanspeculoos en -koffie). Hierdoor werd de Xmas Spicy geboren. Dit bier brengt je onmiddellijk in kerststemming. Stef is ook de bezieler van de vzw Kids for Uganda en een deel van de opbrengst van de verkoop gaat dan ook naar dit goede doel. Enkel tijdens de wintermaanden beschikbaar, zolang de voorraad strekt. Dit donkere bier van hoge gisting wordt met speciale mouten bereid zodat men toetsen van koffie en chocolade waarneemt. Met smaakevolutie, niet gefilterd en ongepasteuriseerd.

hop: Lublinhop
mout: Pils- (gerst), chocolade- (gerst), tarwemout, havervlokken en speculooskruidenmengsel

Absolutely terrifying amass of UFO’s ever witnessed. Opaque dark brown beer under a huge, dense cream head, leaving rings of lace. X-mas spices, gingerbread (spices), spices. You get the pic. Cypress (~roasted malts) too. Sharp spicy flavour, completely overpowered with liquorice. Finish has some "amandine"/rosewater/frangipane. Well bodied, quite slick. Sorry, this is totally unpalatable to me.

Sampled at Kerstbierfestival Essen 2014. Murky brownish color, medium sized beige head. Smell and taste lightly malts, a lot of herbs or spices. Not my thing at all.

29/XI/14 - 75cl bottle @ Winterbier Festival (Vichte) - BB: n/a (2014-1449) Thanks to Sanne for driving us!

Clear brown beer, creamy beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: quite some banana, caramel, sweet, yeasty, cloves, overripe fruits. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: lots of spices, cloves, bit of cinnamon, ginger, caramel, little bitter, fudge, green banana. Aftertaste: yeasty, spices, cloves, caramel, fudge, bit metallic, alcohol, reminds me of pumpkin ale.
