COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
”Ideen til Himmelkys opstod, da Bryggeriet Djævlebryg for nylig præsenterede øllen Gudeløs. Det syntes jeg ikke skulle have lov til gå ubemærket hen. Og hvad er mere oplagt end en kærlighedsøl til julemånederne,” siger sognepræst og ølentusiast Torsten Dam-Jensen. I samarbejde med Gourmet Bryggeriet har han udviklet Himmelkys, der er inspireret af de traditionelle belgiske klosterøl. ”Øllen er kraftig og mørkerød, og smagen passer perfekt til den traditionelle julemad som and, gås og flæskesteg,” tilføjer Torsten Dam-Jensen.

sayravai (4548) - Helsinki, FINLAND - MAY 7, 2011
(Bottled, 0.75l, BBE 01/2010) Blood red color with a small head. Sweetish, caramely-malty nose with raisins, plums, and spiciness. Flavor is sweetish and very malty, dried-fruity and anise-spicy. Lots of licorice when warm. Medium to full body with smooth, low carbonation. I can imagine, that this is too sweet ans spicy when young, but now - almost 1,5 years after the BBE - it feels delicious and balanced. 6247
