It’s Christmas-time in Paris, and that means the Noël beers are appearing again! This has a foggy dark amber-brown body and a decent solid head on top. The aroma is wood and barley, some malty spicines. Taste is a typical amber brew, lots of malt and some nutty notes. Not bad, not great.

Bottle. Brown- orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, malt, fruit. Flavour is sweet, malt, alcohol, hop, fruit, caramel, yeast, dried fruits. Medium body. OK beer.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a hazy, orange body with some microfloaties and a dense, finger-thick beige head. Malty nose with some fruityness, sweetness and hints of dried fruits. Nutty, toffee flavor with some fruit notes, maybe a bit sweet. Medium to full body with pleasant carbonation. A quite pleasant beer. 091024
