Commercial Description:
La Birra di Natale e’ una vera festa del gusto e dei profumi! Al contrario di altre birre natalizie, nell’interpretazione di Maltus Faber gli aromi speziati (oltre che fruttati e di cioccolato) non sono dati dall’impiego di spezie e aromatizzanti, ma esclusivamente dall’opera del lievito abbinata alla scelta dei luppoli e l’impiego di malti speciali. Stilisticamente paragonabile alle piu’ forti birre trappiste e di abbazia, a volte chiamate "Quadrupel".

Smooth, almost spicy with complex malt character, sweeter than other Maltus Faber ales yet not cloying at all.

Bottled. Cloudy orange, brief head. Fruity perfumy nose. Mid-sweet with medium body. Interesting yeastyflavour of dried apricots and seville orange marmelade. Orvallish, but bigger and less spritzy with herbal hops and marked fruitiness. Good late piney bitterness. Lovely complex ale, damn close to fantastic!

Bottle, 75cl, courtesy of Dedollewaitor. It pours an almost clear, orange-golden body under a small, off-white head. Quite weak on the nose, with raisins and peaches the most evident aromas. Slightly sourish flavor with some caramel. Tropical fruits and sweetness as well. Medium body. Warming finish with fruits and some bitterness. Initially a rather boring and uninteresting, but it soon gets quite interesting. 090822
