Dark orange and reallycloudy with soft, rich head. Intensely peppery nose, big aprocot aroma. Fruity, yet dry. Very complex with smooth mouthfeel leading to a dry finish. Unusual, interesting, and very much to my liking.

Orange-beige. The aroma is yeasty with pepper and bitter citrus. Surprising herbal bitterness. Light orange notes and a little bread. Nice brew but nothing crazy.

Dark ale, beautiful thick head. Nice malt aroma, not very strong; some roasted malt as well; nice alcohol note. Maybe too much carbonation, but wonderful mouth, full, complex; caramel, liquorice, malt, bitterness; good hop notes, quite hidden but very nice; roasted malt, light nuts; perfect marriage. Smooth sensations, average palate, undertone for this beer, but long.

Brown color. I don't go mad for the aroma, the taste is ordinary, with a light sour note, missing any originality or good character.
And do they write nöel or noël? ;-)

Golden coloured. Light bodied. Very lively, spicy and complex. A good, true to style saison.
