A clear orange beer with a nice lasting white head. The aroma is sweet, slightly spicy with notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, oranges, spices, and malt. Not a lot of Christmas in this one, but nice.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Comes as "Brigand Christmas Beer" at 9% ABV. Fully golden beer with a decent, white head. Some sweet malt. Very potent and solid brew without much refinement. Alcohol is very evident. Almost malt liquorish. 220898

Draught as Brigand Kerstbier. Semi-sweet, semi-malty flavour. Finishes with a sour bitterness. Almost clear amber colour. Nice and creamy, stable white head.

Tap, Café het Pleintje, Hengelo. A large glass full of fermented malt extract. Obvious alcohol, but that is compensated somewhat by a good hops and malt character. Plums. Full bodied, almost thick. The taste is good, but this brew is almost too much for my tastebuds.
