Commercial Description:
Stille Nacht (Silent Night) is a prestige beer from De Dolle Brouwers brewed for Christmas. It has the highest density of any Belgian beer (27°Pl), has been boiling for 5 hours, brewed with pale malt with white candi sugar in the kettle. The Nugget hops and dry hopping gives an extra bitterness to balance the extreme sweetness due to the density. The taste triangle is completed with some acidity of the fermentation. It is a very interesting beer to age. We have samples of every bottling we have done so far and aging does not mean decreasing quality with this beer. Keep some samples at 10°C and mark the year on the cap with an alcohol marker. Cheers!!

11.2 oz bottle. Orange-amber pour with a thick long lasting head. Slightly sour aroma. Very fruity with notes of apple and candy. Very sweet start, but it is quickly overpowered by the alcohol. Lots of yeast and grain with bitterness and hops. Did not like it too much. The alcohol was way too intense.

2007 edition - bottle. The cap full of light brown yeasts. De dolle is so caracteristic. The nose is complex as hell with sweet fruits as oranges and pinaples, also hints of corianter. You clearly sense the special yeast that you don´t find in any other beer. Its wild and creamy and easy to drink when you think of how many percent/alcohol it holds. A great beer.

Poured orangish brown with tan head and small floaters. Malty aroma with some sweetness. Medium body with an almost effervescent cabonation. Sweet and fruity with a strong alcohol taste. Very different and good.

3/13/08: Bottle.
Orange body with a thick white head. Chunklets in glass. Aroma of yeast, alcohol and esters. Flavors include sweet caramel malts, honey, cinnamon, yeast, fruit and a touch of whiskey barrel. Finish is smooth and a bit sour.

Bottle from South Bay Drugs and Liquor. Created a huge development of foam that was not easily containable once poured, it practically overflowed out of the bottle and from the edge of my glass cup. The visual of the liquid is a dirty opaque yellow that is beyond hazed with sediment and other debris. In the nose a decent proportion of spicy yeast is detected but is somewhat mild and the alcohol is almost non existent. The flavor is a tart yet tasty serving of spices and the alcohol goes undetected. Impressing Belgian ale that I haven’t ever seen available before.

Cloudy Orange hue, full of yeast sediment and alcohol. Sweet, fruity flavor that is very abrupt on the tongue. Good warmth from alcohol makes this a nice sipper...

Bottled at Beer Circu, brussels. Hazy golden with a lot of yeast-particles. White head. Sweet and malty aroma; some toffee, slightly sourish. Yeasty flavour with perfume-ish notes and a warming alco-feel.
