Bottled. Amber colour, white mediumsized foamy head. Aroma is caramel, yeast, slight metallicness and a bit of sugar. Flavour is very much the same, but the metallicness is not so strong, instead there is an underlaying tone of fruits.

Cloudy brown color. The aroma is malty, with caramel and delicate roasted malt. Very good body structure; malt flavor, caramel, roasted malt, with sweetness and a hint of liquorice. It ends very balanced, with caramel and chocolate, good bitterness and some alcohol warmth. Very good.

Bottled as Santa-Bee (BBE 2009)
Loads of yeast in the bottom of the bottle. Muddy nut brown color, small off-white head. Spicey nose, cardamon, raisins, grapes, dates and licorice. Medium-bodied, slick, toffeish palate, especially when it warms up. Flavor is sweetish, there is some fruity notes like dates but also spices - cinnamon at least. Spiceyness continues in the aftertaste. Hides alcohol very well. Interesting, but "one time only" -beer.

Big offwhite coarse head. Hazy amber body. Light, fruity yeasty aroma with sugar, marzipan, and malt notes. Deep, sweet yeasty sugary lightly roasty spicy taste with warming character. Nice and drinkable. (0.33l bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp.)
