Very dark brown beer with a beige foamy head. Lemon, dry cake, christams cookies in the aroma. Medium body. Quite original tasting, dry cake with raisins, lemon, herbs and strong anise. This is actually very nice and original!

Aroma of Christmas... don´t know how else to say it! Caramel, pine, cloves, very sweet, wonderful smell really.Nice looking bottle, poured a dark deep almost maroon, lovely. Sweet, perhaps overly so, with a flavor that, again, reminds me of Christmas, aniseed! Good but not great. Medium body with fairly strong carbonation and a bitter finish that lingers quite a bit. Good beer all in all.

33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 09/2015
Quite spicy aroma with cumin, sweet malt and raisins. Foamy palate is a bit too high on CO2. Flavour has apricot, alcohol, some christmasy spices and ripe fruits. Finishes somewhat tart with citrus and hints of orange. Decent.

Que se passe-t-il à Brunehaut à la Noël ? Eh bien on récolte des cerises et de la grenade
pour la bière de Noël … J’invente bien sûr, mais cela doit ressembler à cela...
Façon assez bizarre de concevoir une bière de Noël pour cette brasserie, et sans doute
une des cotes les plus basses sur ce genre de bière sur toute la planète.
Donc on va dire que Brunehaut n’est pas en Belgique... et pourtant malheureusement oui !!!
Couleur roux foncé dense. Clarté quasi opaque sauf en transparence.
Bulles moyennes très vives au centre du verre.
Mousse beige claire, qui nappe légèrement sans crème...
Odeurs (aîîîîe) de cerises pour kriek (donc amères!!!), vin rouge très jeune (le gros rouge
à bon papa...), pêche et groseilles rouges. Drôle de cirque....
Volume assez liquide.
1ère bouche très sèche avec épices, grenade, cuberdon …. et aspirine !!!
Arrière-bouche très droite, et le gros rouge qui revient en force... (« la ferme, papi »).
2ème bouche très plate, un peu dans le style pomme de terre bintje...
3ème bouche avec une pointe de cannelle du vin chaud (ben oui, marché de Noël,
populaire et gros gobelet à boire avec des moufles …).
Longueur toujours avec la grenade, des épices de la famille de la girofle.
La levure est jolie mais piquante et granuleuse.
Alcool oui, sans plus.
En finale, rien ne vient emballer cette bière...
On croit rêver d’un pareil brassin pour Noël... A part la petite note de cannelle
à la 3ème bouche, mais c’est cher payé !!
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 MoritzF (7756) - Bochum, GERMANY - JAN 31, 2013
(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, opaque colour with a big and tanned foamy head. Yeasty, dark malty aroma with strong spicy notes of cinnamon and anise, subtle fruity notes and traces of vegetables and alcohol. Sweet flavour, medium bodied at most with a moderate carbonation. Surprisingly slim dark malt-character with caramel, shy fruity notes and loads of spices; peppery and x-mas spicy finish with traces of alcohol and metal. Not one of my favourites. 8.I.13
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Bathory (360) - Bryne, NORWAY - JAN 15, 2013
Pours a hazy brown colour with a white head. The aroma is a bit supprising, loads of spices, peticular aniseed, together with some roastiness, and nuts. The smell reminds me of Nøgne Ø’s "Underlig Jul" (Peculiar Christmas). Loads of christmas spices. Quite interresting. Flavour is wierd. Don’t know if it’s the good or the bad wierd. No balance at all, but it’s actually quite interesting. There are datesfruit, cardamom, pepper, nuts, cough drops, vanilla, aniseed, raisins, with some chocolate and coffee in the end. That’s my suggest for the different flavours in this beer. Soft carbonation, medium bodied with a really smooth mouthfeel. I acctually really liked it, it was so different and wierd, almost a new experience. I recommend everyone to try this one, most wont like it, but everyone wouls appriciate that they tried it in my opinion.

Dobre świąteczne piwo o aromacie bardzo intensywnie pachnącej łąki. Posmak karmelowo słodko-gożki. Spruchniałe drewno także się odczuwa. Elegancki wygląd z wielką piana. Kolor Brązowy z rubinowymi refleksami. Polecam na święta.
