kiwianer (150) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - AUG 7, 2011
Getestet beim BTO Treff 3. Danke an Erzengel! Dieses Weihnachtsbier schmeckt stark nach Lebkuchen und etwas malzig. Bei einem Blindtest kommen wahrscheinlich die wenigsten auf die Idee das es ein Bier darstellen soll, dafür schmeckt es aber sehr Weihnachtlich. Fazit: Seltsam aber recht lecker. Test vom 24.1.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,9,10,9,9,9 - 9,45

Koelschtrinker (7034) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUL 6, 2011
Das Bier startet deutlich malzig, dennoch könnte es noch deutlich stärker sein. Das mittelwürzige Aroma beinhaltet eine Kräuternote, die das Ganze deutlich aufrundet und das Bier frischer wirken lässt. Die Malzigkeit ist zwar weiter präsent, gerät aber nach und nach eher in den Hintergrund, ein süßer Ton platziert sich daher im VOrdergrund und bleibt bis in den wieder etwas malziger werdenden Nachgeschmack bestehen. Test vom 11.10.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,9,8,7,14,7 - 7,90

DeanF (1480) - Iqaluit, Nunavut, CANADA - DEC 4, 2010
UPDATED: DEC 5, 2010 On tap at a bar in Paris. Little head to speak of, clear golden body. Aroma of grains and little else. Taste was very un-Christmassy, mostly grains and maybe a slight hint of spicy sweetness on the back end.

jaghana (2078) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - NOV 9, 2010
On tap in Strasbourg. A light clear amber beer with medium head. The beer is very spicy at the beginning, intense aroma of coriander and cardamom, body is quite low. Good malty notes specially at the finish, not bad beer but a bit thin for a Christmas beer.
