Amber beer of 7.5° plato. Special brew each year; original by the composition of the spices and yeasts chosen. The tradition was forgotten for a while and brought up to date by our brewery in the 1970s on the occasion of the gift made at Christmas for our customers.

Tap at Mandragore. Clear amber to reddish brown with big light beige head. Caramel and toffee, light roasted malts, a bit of chocolate, light spices like ones used in gluhwein, a light herbal touch in the finish but this is mostly about the sweet and toasted malty notes. Medium sweet and very light bitter. Over medium bodied. Quite nice.

750ml bottle. Clear copper colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Dry, herbal, spicy, perfumed, fruity and minimally soapy aroma. Taste is moderately sweet, a vague mixture of fruity, spicy, and minimally dry herbal notes, a touch of cinnamon; clearer structured and more integrated not until the finish, leaving caramel malt, orange and cinnamon on tongue. Relatively light body.

Im aromatisch hefigen Antrunk sind unterschwellige Kräuternoten nicht zu leugnen. Die Hefigkeit bleibt konstant und pusht alle Aromen gleichmäßig, so auch die im Mittelteil aufkommende und sich im Abgang ausbreitende Malzigkeit. Sie beinhaltet im hinteren Teil auch dezente Getreidenoten, die auf selber Höhe mit dern Kräutern einzustufen sind. Aufgrund dieser ausbalancierten Noten ist das Bier trotz des Alkoholgehalts außerordentlich süffig, besonders die Hefigkeit ist bemerkenswert gleichförmig und aromatisch. 9/12/11/12/11/12

Boring gold colour, decent head. Aroma is a quite strong hops smell, slight barley hints. Taste is like a Belgian blonde, lots of hops and a dry hoppy finish. All hops, really, a little bit of honey sweetness as well though. I dunno, to me, a Noël beer should be dark and reasonably heavy. This doesn’t fit that description.

Bouteille (Merci,le Quack-Duck!): Hazy, amber coloured to deep golden; at first sight hoppy, at second sight mainly (X-mas) spicy nose with a sweet grainy and yeasty background; sweet sugary flavour, quite light bodied for a beer of 7.5%, a bit sticky; finishes with aromas of cola; lemons, dried fruits and a light tartness - too - in the sweet sourish finish. Not too bad, mais tres doux......
