Poured a dark reddish brown with tan head that didn’t last long. The aroma was fruity and sweet with licorice dominating. The flavor was sweet with hints of caramel, licorice and maltiness. It was medium bodied with mild carbonation. Very nice.

Jul 21, 2008 Small bottle. I liked this as I do with the others I’ve had from this brewer. Though didn’t care for the noel strangely. Brown with a creamy coloured head. Mild tasting for a brune but not flavourless. There more complex brunes, plenty of room in the market for this in my eyes. A little spice and caramel. Not bad.

Jul 9, 2008 Bottle 75 cl. Pours a dark brown colour with beige lasting head. Aroma is spices, caramel, hints of dark fruit and grass. Flavor is much of the same, with tones of citrus kicking in as well. Good.

Jul 1, 2008 A beer with a low taste, not very special.
I prefer the blond one, or even the chrtismats one.
