Brown 33cl bottle, bottled 14 Oct 09, drank 15 Dec 09. Poured into a Veltins badged stemmed tulip glass. Looked quiet promising, large tan head sat on top of a brown beer with red hints when held up to the Christmas lights. No aroma what so ever, not even a hint of hop, malt or yeast, let alone any Christmas type spices or flavours. Fizzy and tasteless, what a let down, malty but boring, dry from the start and with no sparkle or Christmas feel to it. Thin and with no redeeming features I could find, a huge disappointment.

Der Malzantrunk ist süßlich, vor allem aber wässriger mit trockenen Bitternoten, die sich nicht unbedingt gut einfügen. Im weiteren Verlauf wird das Bier noch deutlich wässriger, die auftauchende Herbe unterliegt hier augenblicklich, so bleibt das Bier labbrig und kaum aromatisch, langweilig leer, einfach uninspiriert. Schlecht! 9/6/5/4/8/5

Bottle. Sweet malt aroma, light fruity, molassis. Dark red claret, low head. Berrylike base, light pine hoppyness, quick dry finish. Light sparkly mouthfeel. Light roast aftertaste. Pleasant enough, in a blind tasting I would have put this down as a fruity Dunkles.

Bottle: Poured a reddish brown in color with a froathy head. Sweet roasted malt aroma. Taste was similiar and sweet roasted malt. Not the top of the heap as far as x-mas beers go.

Bottle, 5.5%. Nice dark red brown colour. The flavour is rather alcoholic. Otherwise a little like a malty strong lager.

(33cl bottle, with thanks to Saarlander) Clear, brown colour with a reddish shine and a medium-sized beige foamy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma with a light herbal hoppy touch. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft to medium carbonation. Toast-malty taste, slightly nutty; dry-ish, malty, slightly bitter finish with a touch of hops and a note of marzipan in the aftertaste. Not bad, but undemanding.

Bottle (@ D’dorf Gathering) Clear, reddish amber coloured, small off-white head; faint malty - roast-malty - nose, a bit sourish; faint sweet-bitter flavour; light sweetish-malty finish. Not really impressive, X-mas seems to be a boring thing down in Luxemburg..................
