Brown flip-top bottle, best before June 2011, drank and reviewed 7 Jan 2011. Poured into a Duvel glass. The body was a murky red/brown colour, more red than brown. The tan/cream coloured head was impressive for 20 seconds, it then began to fade away to leave a collar and some wisps within a minute, what a pity, my only fault. Molasses and toffee apples were the smells I got, along with a mini-sourness, like cooking apples boiled without sugar. The toffee and malty molasses dominate the taste, semi-sweet with a morsel citrus/hop bitterness in the background. The bite was good, well carbonated without being at all gaseous or fizzy. The best beer of this type I’ve had so far. That includes Andechser Dunkel. Impressed from start to finish (apart from the head fade).

Imported from my RateBeer account as Christoffel Bier (by Sint Christoffel Bier):
Aroma: 6/10, Appearance: 5/5, Taste: 7/10, Palate: 4/5, Overall: 12/20, MyTotalScore: 3.4/5
7/IV/2012 - 33cl bottle from De Hopduvel (Gent) @ home - BB: X/12 (2012-337)
Little cloudy yellow to light beige head, very creamy off-white head, pretty stable and adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: grains, malts, a bit like it smells in a brewery, so I'm going for wort, little herbal, but mainly the wort thing. MF: good carbon, medium to full body. Taste: grains, wort, little sweet touch, then bitter herbal hops, tobacco, pretty earthy. Aftertaste: grassy, hoppy bitterness, very bitter ending, not dry though. Not bad for a pilsener!

Bottle sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel Florentine. Thanks Oren. Hazy golden. Aroma of fruits. Sweetish flavor with some fruitiness, grainy notes and a drier finish. Medium-bodeid.
