COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is a sweet beer with a pleasant flavour of hops. Indeed, for Bush de Noel, the brewer uses a traditional process which consists in placing hops flowers in the vats where the beer rests for four to six weeks by which time it will have reached full maturity, giving it a very distinctive taste. In the U.S the label generally reads Scaldis Noel.

Bottle poured into a tulip glass. Pours a light brown color with a very small tan head, minimal lacing around the glass. Fantastic beer! Nose is sweet, floral, alcohol. Taste is same, a bit more burn than Scaldis Ambree, but just as drinkable.

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 (33cl Bottle) Nothing about this is elegant, its 12 % boozeiness is @you’re mind every sip in this glass of cough mixture , but that’s fucking fine with me . Extremly rich on the palate ,port like i reckon, with lots of peppery alcohol and some sour berries and floral hops shine through this . Massive robustly obnoxious richness...but a nice sipper.

33cl bottle at home. This isn’t really my cup of tea. None of the Dubuisson beers actually. They just lack body and complexity. All you’ll ever taste in these beer is the heavy amount of alcohol...

Nice sweet taste to this, almost reminds me of a lite cherry taste. For a 12% you can’t tell with the taste at all. I like being able to buy a bottle or two of this. Not heavy at all either, and very smooth to drink. For the price I am pleased with the 8+ oz bottle you get.

Poured deep amber with a small head. Smelled leather, fruits, and malts. Tasted sweet malts and mature Belgian. Decent
