3.4 Sød juleøl ganske god
3.1 Donkerrood bruin bier met ruime beige schuimkraag. Ruikt kruidig, net iets te zoet om goed te zijn.
2.3 Bottle from FinestBelgianBeers. Pours a dark brown colour with a red tinge and a medium sized throthy beige head. Nice lacing. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, liquorice, bread and sugar. Taste is the same notes with a little spice and a touch of orange, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is very sweet! Medium bodied. Highly carbonated. A little fizz on the tongue and a slightly chewy palate. Overall this beer is way too sweet for my liking.
3.9 Wyjątkowo przyprawowy i słodki belgian strong ale. Bardzo przyjemna pełnia, fajne jak zwykle suszone owoce i estry, przyprawy dodają ciekawego charakeru. Może minimalnie za słodkie. Ogólnie naprawdę przyjemne świąteczne belgijskie piwo.
2.9 Rami Rami is drinking a Gauloise Christmas by Brasserie du Bocq at Kufle i Kapsle No wchun tych przypraw, takie glownie okolice galko muszkatulowej, ciut piernikowo-korzennych. W tle cienki dosc, nieco wodnisty BDSA, troszke ciemnych owocow wlasciwie. No sredniak z minusikiem Rami Rami: A fuuuuj, na cieplo wyszla kolendra! I to mocno! W dol gwiazdki
3.0 Not a typical Christmas ale. The beer is quite a high in ABV. Strong notes of caramel, brown sugar and cinnamon. Overall too sweet for my taste.
3.0 Una cerveza de un color rojizo oscuro, con toques dulces como caramelo maltoso, sirope de caramelo, azúcar morena, con poca retención de espuma y carbonatación media.. Un tanto dulce, pero nada demasiado fuerte.
3.9 Almost black see through colour, medium head with some colour, aromas of dried stone fruits, orange, malt, chocolate and slight Christmas spices. Lots of sweet and toffee in the taste, combined with raisins, slight orange and low spice. Hints of alcohol, but in no way dominating. Lots of complexity, but definitely a very good Christmas companions.
3.7 Bouteille de 33 CL achetée chez V&B. Robe brune sombre avec une légère mousse brune. Arômes de caramel, malts grillés, fruits noirs. Texture huileuse, carbonatation moyenne, sucrée. Notes de caramel, fruits noirs, épices, grillé. Finale sèche portée sur le caramel.
3.8 Flaska från SB, från 2017. Passerat bäst före med några månader. Mörkbrun med gräddig moccafärgad krona. Mustigt, kryddigt, kandisocker, mjukt jästig. Riktigt rund och mjuk kropp, gjort fint av åldern. Mycket gott!
3.4 Negra pero no sabe a negra. No sta mal
4.0 Ottima birra natalizia, dalle classiche caratteristiche tipiche del genere. Color rosso molto scuro, schiuma beige non molto compatta, e odori e sapori tendenti al dolce. Prugna, liquirizia, caramello e spezie. Carbonazione medio-alta.
2.9 Clear red brownish color with tan head. Aroma is quite sugar forward with some dark fruit notes., molasses and a bit of star anise. Taste follows, sweet and sugary with some spices, mostly liquorice and finishes with a hint of bitterness on the finish. Still, the aftertaste lingers sweet and sugary. Medium plus body with medium carbonation. A bit too sweet for my taste.
3.3 Bottle. Pours a beautiful, lightly hazy, dark red colour with tan head. Aroma is dark fruit - raisins, some plums, liqorice, light, phenolic notes in the nose, caramel. Flavour is sweet raisins, plums, liqorice again, star anise, dark caramel malt, belgian candi syrup, brown sugar. It's got a sweet, sticky quality over it, which is not overbearing. Medium carbonation, light body, medium mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Good.
2.5 It has a sweet taste with a high carbonation and a fruity aroma. It is drinkable.
4.0 Robe sombre de teinte rubis. Nez de fruits rouges et de léger gimgembre. Jolie mousse teintée de marron. Bon goût de fruits rouges et de gingembre. Franchement une bonne bière d'hiver.
3.2 Bottle. Clear dark golden pour, small head. Roasted malty nose, same goes for the taste. Medium body, soft carbonation.
2.4 Sunday, December 23, 2018. Bottle, 33cL. 8%. Purchase ("La P'tite Mousse", Parthenay (79), FR). Home. A very very dark brown beer with a big beige foamy head ; good retention and lacing ! Roast, sugar, dried fruity notes, light caramel. Medium to heavy round sweet, sugary, light fresh dry, minimal bitter. Light to medium body, silky texture, average gaseous, sweet sugary caramel finish. Overall, meh, deceiving.
3.8 Dark ruby brown color, white head, aroma of caramel, herbs and licorice, lightly bitter, medium sweet, medium body.
3.4 Mörk mahogny med tjockt beige skum. Doftar sött, maltigt, lite kryddigt, kaffe, kola och lakrits. Smaken fyllig, söt, russin, toffé,, torkad frukt, lite kryddig, kardemumma och koriander. Eftersmaken lång och söt, sirap, lite kryddig. Lagrad nåt år, alltför sött.
3.8 De barril en Oldenburg (Madrid), primera vez. Color rojo oscuro con una espuma de baja retención. Aromas a malta tostada, pasas y frutos secos y alcohol. En boca sorprende muchísimo su carbonatación media con el azúcar (sabe casi como si lamieras un terrón de azúcar). Siguen sabores tostados, a pasa y almendra, con una consistencia levemente oleosa. Lástima que su retrogusto sea prácticamente inexistestente. Excelente cerveza!
4.0 Meget sødme og lidt alkohol. Den har fine noter af karamel og blommer/svesker. Ikke meget humle.
3.8 Flaska från belgiuminabox. Gammal flaska som passerat BBD med ett år. Mahognyfärgad med rejäl krämig skumpuck. Söt doft med sötlakrits, torkad frukt, russin och madeira. Fortfarande potent med mogna smaker och balanserad sötma. Värmande men väldigt drickvänlig. Gott.
3.9 Doft: kola, fudge, bränt socker, lite lite anis, vanilj, russin, quadsyrlig. Smak: kola, fudge, apelsinmarmelad, väldigt välbalanserad! Honung, bakade äpplen, ganska söt, men väldigt trevlig!!
2.4 Dark brown with a ruby tinge. Aroma is liquorice and spice. Taste is tonnes of sweet liquorice and caramel. A bit much.
4.6 Bottle at Poechenellekelder. Pours very dark ruby with a generous tan head. Scent is medium notes of toffee and licorice. Some cocoa. Taste is thick licorice bomb with cocoa and plenty of sweetness. Caramel. Dry and herbal. I can see why the licorice might be overbearing but I love it. Finish is moist and a tiny bit sticky. Excellent ale.
4.0 Аромат волшебный. Темные фрукты,карамель,немного цветочных сладких ноток. Цвет темно янтарный. Пена кремовая, долго оседает. Вкус карамельный, сладкий, темные фрукты. Послевкусие сладкое, слегка приторное. В целом отличный дюбель.
3.7 (en pression, facile, sucrée, sombre, cerise fumée hyper subtile, à éventuellement réessayer)
3.5 Kastanjebruin bier met lichtbeige schuimkraag. Zoet. Suiker, kaneel, kruidnagel, perzik. Zacht.
