33 cL bottle, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium. Pours hazzlenut brown, golden and clear with a lacing white head. Spiced aroma. Flavour has a mild caramel malt base with little sweetness. On top is a herbal towards spiced mix. Lingering cloves and ginger notes in the flavour. Finish is mildly spiced. Strange, the waitor gave me this and told me this is the most difficult beer, but it holds nothing against some of the Danish heavy spiced X-max beers. Nice though.

Kerstbierfestival 2007 Hopfiger, zu schnell wässrig werdender Antrunk. Etwas karamellmalzig, genauso wenig nach Kräutern, wirekt lieblos. Das Bier bleibt leider oberflächlich. Naja Test vom 21.12.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,8,9,8,-,8 - 8,26
