Kerstpater heeft een diepe, donkerbruine kleur met een streepje rood. Het beige schuim verbergt warm alcoholzoet in een bier dat geurt naar chocolade, zoet van karamel en kandij. In de mond komt het kandijsuiker terug, aangenaam gecombineerd met chocoladebitter. De afdronk is lang en zalig zoet.

Muddy brown with big off-white head. Malt anise and caramel in the aroma. Sweet brown sugar flavour with some raisin. Should be much more complex at 9% ABV...

Pour is a very dark red with a huge tan head. Aroma is nice. Some chocolate and dark fruit with a bit of smoke in there. Flavor is super sweet and almost to sweet. Some spices come on in the end but again this is overly sweet. This is one of those beers that has its good points(nice aroma) and bad(to much sugar). Still its reasonably afforadable so go ahead and try it.

Bottle. Dark brown with as moderate tan head. Aroma of dark fruits and muscovado sugar. Flavour was of caramel and prunes with a slightly oaky finish. Alcohol was a bit too upfront. Ok.

Dark colour, smal head. Fruity aroma. Fruity taste as well, rather sweet and malty. Complex and full-bodies. The alcohol does not dominate the taste.

Bottle. Very dark brown color with large light brown head. Chocolate malty and yeasty aroma, little sweet and some alcoholic hints next to some caramel touches. Smouth body, little sweet, again some brown sugar, chocolate and fruit. Full body, nice bitter-sweer finish.

Carbonated, maltly smell and liqourice/malty taste and elements of cinnamon, caramel. Very complex brew that needs some adjustment but quite enjoyable!

This is very sweet and reminds of a something from Abbaye des Rocs. Loads of fermenting fruit and sweet malt in the flavor and aroma. Also very well carbonated, far more than more beers. It is simple and straightforward but good.

[An aged sampled I believe I’ve had it for two years - and now it is about to expire] A deep red beer with some chunks of yeast, underneath a lazing dark brown head. The aroma is lovely with notes of candy sugar, alcohol, chocolate, raisins, wood, and yeast - very complex. The flavor is sweet and has strong notes of chocolate, combined with notes of prunes - in a lovely combination, but also notes of alcohol - a bit like an old Sherry, as well as wood and hints of tobacco. Mysteriously the body feels a bit thin, but the aftertaste lingers for a long time.

(bottle) Almost black coloured with a short frothy beige head. Sweet toasted malty aroma with sour fruity notes of blackcurrants and dried plums. Sweet and slightly sour flavour, medium bodied, well carbonated. Initially sweet malty taste with a tart fruitiness; sweet and sour alcohol-warming finish with liquorice spice.
