De Dolle Stille Nacht

Brewed by De Dolle Brouwers
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Diksmuide, Belgium

Bottle enjoyed off-season @Plan B, Copenhagen. Huge fluffy lasting white head. Excellent lacing. Slightly unclear light brown body. Amazing aroma, a fruitbomb! Also scents of bubblegum, caramel, chocolate, spices and yeast. Taste is candysugar, malt-sweetness and fruit-sweetness. Not cloying at all, only a fresh and inviting sweetness. Christmas-spices, fruity acidity, yeast, refined hops and alcohol to balance. Very complex and filling. Fruity and spicy and gently bitter end with long duration. This beer was made for me. I love it!

De Dolle Stille Nacht poured a hazy golden colored body with a white head. This beer was cloudy! The taste was sweet with hints of clove, orange peer, and honey. This beer is REALLY sweet. I found it enjoyable, but even I as a fan of sweet beers thought it could be toned down a drop.

Pours a yeasty, slightly hazy glowing orange with a small white head. Pretty fruity aroma but with a noticeable spiciness to it. Alot of orange peel, some coriander, and malts. The flavor is very sweet and malty, almost sugary. Syrupy maouthfeel, with a long finish. Just slight on the fruit, but heavier on the malt with some spices. Kind of a subtle earthiness to it, that makes it easy to drink and enjoyable. Nicely done.

Pours a very hazy and cloudy gold color. The aroma is spicy with bread notes, malt, and slight hops and maybe even some sweet honey thrown in. Taste is a complex balance of sweet and spicy across the nose, and this beer executes this complexity in a very subtle way. There is also a hint of clove and earthy notes thrown in for good measure Great winter beer from De Dolle, a brewery that rarely misses.

bottle Thanks Olso! Poured a very cloudy golden color with a lot of sediment present. The head was a large light tan. Aroma was wonderful with honey, spices, and bread. Taste was very sweet with a nice spicy finish. I will definitely drink this again.

2006 bottle. Pours hazy dark gold with a light white head that sticks around. Aroma is very sweet and yeasty, with a lot of vinous smells, pineapple, raisin, butterscotch, and sweet rolls. Some toffee also makes its presence known. The taste is similar to the aroma with a lot of sweetness in the beginning, with flavors of toffee, candi sugar, raisin, butterscotch, which changes more to a dry white wine flavor in the finish. There is also a lot of bready yeast on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium with a lot of carbonation like all De Dolle beers. This beer is as good as it was the last time I had it, and I’m always consistently impressed with this brewery.

[Bottle] Poured cloudy amber with an enormous light tan head. Aroma was very sweet and consisted of cloves and honey. Taste was yeasty, spicy, and sweet. Medium body. Very nice beer.

bottle. barely there head, into cloudy yellowish-orange body. aromas are strong of ripe fruit also some malts and spicyness are also present. alcohol is well hidden but warming is present. long finish. good good stuff.

Syrupy hazy golden blonde pour with a frothy white head. Sugary candied malts are evident on the nose as well as sugared fruits, raisins and figs. The body is syrupy and sugary, smooth without much carbonation. I can’t recall ever having such a sweet beer, its lip smacking-ly sweet, however this is not altogether a bad thing. There are some robust sugary, honey malted flavors, and a dose of alcohol which warms the throat and eases into a long drying finish. Silky smooth mouthfeel, good brew, worth trying
