Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fiulijn. Pours a nutty brown with a slight haze and a creamy off-white head. Heavy aniseed aroma with other X-mas spices too. Medium body, very spicy and tobaccoish, loads of licorice again, some burned caramel underneath. A spice hell indeed. 100511
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Au Grain d’Orge, Crissier
Dark brown color, clear; small head. The aroma, although mild, immediately reveals gingerbread spices (pain d’épices). Moderate caramel flavor, ordinary body, light residual sweetness, evident Christmas spices; correct bitterness, with some extra star anise in the final.
Not my type of beer, but indeed correctly brewed.
