Commissioned Christmas beer with yellowish white head and dark chestnut colour, misty. Fruity and spicy, liquorice, dried citrus peel touch, sourish accent and roasted bitterish finish. Quite good, actually.
Bottled. Deep amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is fruits, yeast and kind of acidic. Also some mild spices. Flavour is acidic fruits, spices and some caramel malts.
Draught @ Kerstbierfestival 2006 in Essen, BE. Dark amber brown color with a good off-white head. Aroma off coriander, licorice, yeast and small nots of sulfur. The flavor was very acidic with a sour finish. Ends very bitter and sweet.
Draught and Bottle: Poured a dark brown with light brown head. Aroma was yeast and spicy. The flavor was very citric and sour, finished a dry burn. The bottle was little less citrus.
Dark brown, hazy; very yellowish head, dense. Soupy and spicey nose (coriander), warm-alcoholic. slight sweet taste, spiced & roasted malts; retronasal coca-cola like. Slight burning mouthfeel (carbonation & roasted malts). Delicate, yes, but a bit unsatisfying too. Not really a big Christas beer.
