On tap @ Setka Pub Poznan, Poland. Pours slightly hazy dark copper brown with small light tan head. Clear aroma of malt with a touch of cinnamon. Intense, malty and fruity taste with soubtle touches of cinnamon. Warming presence of alcohol. Sweetish aftertaste. Nice.

Amber-brown color with ivory head. Malt caramel and toast, also spicy. At taste is light sweet with caramel flavour.

Scura buona schiuma piuttosto persistente leggere tostature una nota floreale piuttosto tostata abbastanza morbida leggero etilico nel finale leggera speziatura amaro medio leggero erbaceo nota di caffe

Clear red brown beer, creamy yellow to beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: mocha, earthy, caramel, some dried fruits, some overripe fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: yeasty, bitter, mocha, chocolate, overripe fruits, cocoa powder. Aftertaste: banana peel, some alcohol, bitter chocolate, alcohol.

Redbrown colored beer with an off white head. Nose of coffee and burned malts. Flavor: coffee, mocca, burned malts. Aftertaste is mild bitter from hops and burned malts. Medium bodied. Good one!

Draft sample @ 18th Christmasbeer festival in Essen. Dark brownish with a small tanned head. Smell is smoky meaty malts in a burst yeast & not good kind of way, lactic & vinous. Taste is same meatiness, dark malts, bitter herbs, vinous, metallic, earth, leaves. Medium to light body, lower carb. Granted going by the ingredients this doesn’t really seem like my thing but this is definitely not how it was meant to be. Things went wrong & this sort of sucks. I can drink but I am not particularly digging this.

Bottle sample @ 18de Kerstbierfestival, Essen 2012. Brune présentant un léger trouble, col beige. Arôme est faible tirant sur une faible note de fruité noir et qcq malts carapils. Ce dernier laisse un bouquet léger grillé, carapils typique pour un nez qui est très dans une signature on ne peut plus belge. Houblons sont aussi bien présents avec une amertume certaine au nez surtout dans un fleuri citronné bien en avant et pouvant dominer la base maltée. Le tout au final à ce profil typique belge. Ici je penche pour la Lupulus revisitée avec un ajout malté et un houblonnage possible entre Sladek et Premiant pour un profil de bière restant axé sur l’amertume. Pointe minime d’épice qui ajoutent peu au développement du caractère de la bière. Malt présente un léger côté grillé, et fini pils. Même à 9%, le tout reste faible.

Sampled at OBER Kerstbierfestival 2012. Dark brown color with a slight red glare coming through when held into the light, small beige to light brown head on top. Smell and taste malts, smoke and weirdness. Can’t describe it but I sure know I don’t like it at all.
