Non male, forse preferisco la versione standard della Noel, ma questa è senza dubbio più complessa.

Bottle, 150cl, courtesy of Brugmansia. 2007 vintage. A quite hazy one, microfloaties too, amber in color and with a nice, small, beige head. Lots of coffee on the nose, with bonfire-like burnt scents, dryish and cocoa-ish. Some faint notes of alcohol too. The flavor has a certain sweetness, but it’s mostly dry, cocoa, coffee and some burnt malts. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated, some alcohol warmth. Sweetness, coffee and cocoa in the finish. A beer that doesn’t look good, but the taste and aroma is really nice. 100814
