Bottle at Taverne ’t Botteltje in Oostend. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a large beige/tan head. Very fresh, light fruit aroma. Medium body with fine, prickly carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, fresh light fruit, and some bittering. Finishes dryish and bitter. Strengthens bitter as time goes by. Different. Good.

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.

Gift from DHVL. Bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Starts great - notes of raisins and liquorice, nicely spicy. Finish a bit weeker, modest spicy, a bit washy. All in all a good beer!

(33cl bottle, as Santa Bee) Hazy, deep amber colour with a huge off-white foamy head. Sweet cara-malty and distinctively fruity aroma with notes of redcurrant. Surprisingly burnt bitter flavour, also minimal tart with a light to moderate malty sweetness, medium to full bodied with a rather soft carbonation. Toasty and fruity taste with notes of caramel and licorice; the sweetness gets stronger towards the vinous-fruity and light alcoholic finish. The components do not fit very well together but it works for me anyway (02.VI.09).
