(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).

Sampled at Zythos 2009. Clear amber, lasting beige head. English bitter aroma, malt that has English characteristics especially on the caramel flavour. I thought that it was ok
