Jun 20, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Again this muddy, pale brown (melted milk chocolate) appearance. Another extremely potent beer from De Drie Kruizen - apparently licensed off to Deca? Rather flat, some roasted, malty notes with hints of dried fruits. An initial sweetness is overpowered by a pronounced, harsh bitterness twisting this out of balance. 130198

Feb 9, 2005 Bottle conditioned, at Essen Kerstbierfestival 2004. Hazy amber brown, thin white head and moderate condition. Sweet caramel malt and gentle hop in the nose, malty in the mouth with some woody smokiness and oxidation noticable. Sweetness in the finish is balanced by a slight roasted bitterness.

Dec 12, 2004 Amber to dark red; no head to speak of. Bready nose, malty, caramel and toasted. Nutty taste, chestnut or chestnut flour, sweet, vanilla. Very oily, buttery MF, flat, no carbonation. This is quite better than expected. Beer could do with some more publicity. Try it, if you can find it.
