Dès que l’on zyeute la Grivoise, notre regard vient se noyer dans le sombre rubis du liquide. Aussi inévitablement qu’instinctivement, on plonge le nez dans un irrésistible parfum d’épices, aux accents de liqueur d’herbes, de petits fruits et de friandise qui nous fait succomber. Une étude approfondie de l’appareil olfactif, confirmée par les premières gorgées, révèle un complexe assemblage où se mêle réglisse, cardamone et piment fumé. Fort de cette découverte, d’une bouche qui n’en pouvait plus d’attendre, nous sommes récompensés par une finale suave et caramélisée. Tout au long de l’expérience, une chaleur d’alcool soutient chaque gorgée, appelant le dégustateur à sombrer, toujours un peu plus profondément, dans la grivoiserie.

Bottle shared by Jean-Yves. Trou du Diable Grivoise de Noel 7.5% Opaque red-brown in color with a wispy beige head from this gusher. A sweet malty aroma, quite full bodied with a soft mouthfeel. The taste is sweet figs and spicy Christmas buns but the spice is very mild for a Christmas beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Marrón, ambar oscura. Translucida. Espuma poco persistente, pero dejando una fina capa. Aroma especiado, y también caramelo. En boca es compleja y completa. Envuelto en un calorcito muy agradable, recuerda a las mejores dubbels belgas. Caramelo, madera, especias, canela, galleta.... Cremosa y bien de gas. Muy buena.
