Bottle at De Kelk (as Santa Bee). Pours very dark with floaties and a huge, lacing, creamy off-white head. Aroma reminds of Xmas greenery. Medium plus body with very creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark malt, with touches of spruce and floral hop. Fairly complicated. Finishes towards dry with a touch of heat. Enjoyed this.
