Red-brown colour. Lightly fruity aroma. Thin texture. Generally sweet with hints of red fruits. Clean, fresh taste.

From tap, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium as Engel (nen). Pours hazy orange with a dense light yellow head. Mild caramel malt base with a mild brett note on top. Flavour is sweet malty with a mild lingering brett note. Very nice spice malt base. Quite nicely balanced. Ends with a nice bitterness lingering into the malt flavours.

On draft, yeszterday @ Kerstbeerfestival. Dark amber-brown color, with a small off-white head. Aroma sweet, roasted malts. Medium body. Taste = sweet, roasted malts, little bitterness. Good.

(On tap) Caramel coloured, caramel in the nose, but...sherry in the flavours! Oh yes, this is a sherry beer indeed... Brownish head, slightly sweet and nutty, rather low in carbonation. But lovely. 180501

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2006 Draught at the pub Off-white creamy head. Excellent lace. Deep brown body. Nice looks, cries to be drunk. Fresh, lightly fruity aroma of red fruit and malts. Lightly bitter, lightly sweet flavour with some more bitterness appearing in the end. Quite well balanced but not sublime. Not very complex and quite low bodied, especially for it’s ABV.

Draught Very good, yellow-brown head, over dark-brown beer. Pine, resiny notes, and light-coloured wood. Dark malts appearing in the taste, a bit of dark chocolate, dark fruit, even if the beer is neither very fruity, neither very estery. Medium bodied, grist slickness. Very straightforward, basic strongish dark beer, but in itself not without merits.

Alsohad it on draft. Very nice brown beer with a touch of alcohol. Tasted at the bvery nice brewerie

Draught@Kerstbierfestival, Essen. Brown colour with small beigeish brown head. Aroma is fruits, yeast, hops and some slight earthy hints. Flavour is cereals, syrup and bready malts. Some mild wood is also there. Very dry palate.

(Draught@Kerstbierfestival 2007, Essen) Dark ruby with a smallish, creamy head. Yeasty, syrupy, roasted-malty aroma with a typical brewpub-oud-bruin feel. Syrupy-malty, lightly roasty flavor with low bitterness. Almost medium-bodied, low-carbonated palate. A stronger oud bruin, but not exactly a gourmet beer.

On tap. Red brownish body, medium sized beige head. Aroma of caramel and berries. Soft spicy (coriander?) flavour, sweet with more bitter finish.
