As in the Belgian tradition of brewing Christmas beers, this is our very own version. It is added with orange peel and raisins. The aromas are warming and captivating and swing from nutty to citrus and slight hints of honey. Mouthfeel starts with caramel and honey flavors and lead to cherry and currant flavors with a delicate bitter finish.

Bottiglia. Sentori di sottobosco vanno a dare soddisfazione al naso. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta e termina con merletti sul bordo del bicchiere. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La parte liquida si presenta velata. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. La carbonazione è vivace. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente rossiccio. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il finale è pulito, complesso e asciutto. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sulla lingua si attestano sentori di caramello, miele, crosta di pane, erba, agrumi, frutta e frutta passita.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is candy sugar, dark malt, dried fruits, touch of orange, caramel, dried plums, spicy notes, caramelized sugar. Sweet candy flavour with a moderate bitterness. Above medium body. A bit too sweet and sugary for my taste, but certainly a decent Winter Ale that's not too spiced.

Аромат нормальный в целом, немного пряностей, намек на каракмель и изюм, горсть солода, нотки меда и травянистости. Цвет темено коричневый. Пенка маленькая, почти ее нет. Вкус средний если честно, не очень сбалансированный и яркий. По началу даже очень неплохо, много карамели и жаренного коричневого сахара. Позже уже странная сухость и горчинка, карамель почти уходит, появляется алкоголь и тяжесть от него. Снова пряности и мед, но без баланса. В целом норма пиво, не более.

Gewürzig-getreidiger Beginn. Dunkel hefig, geringe Bitterkeit, milde Süße. Die Gewürze kommen leider nicht übermäßig gut hervor, mittellanger Abgang - ok. 10/8/9/7/9/7
