COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
L’emploi de sarrasin comme farine de base de sa fabrication fait de cette bière une exclusivité. D’une robe brune et chaleureuse, la Sara, bière double fermentation haute, refermentée sur lie en bouteille, comblera les connaisseurs les plus aguerris. Une bière unique et de prestige qu’il faut découvrir.
This beer has changed ABV erratically during the years of production. Started at 7.5%, subsequently 6%, it stands actually (2009) at 9%. Only the brewery knows whether it will stay at this level, since they never bothered to signal differences, and always considered it to be the same beer...

Oysteib (23) - NORWAY - JAN 13, 2012
From bottle. Reddish brown. Very sweet, slightly too sweet for my very sweettoothed taste, with hardly any bitterness. That the alcohol content is as high as 9 % is hardly noticeable. Fruity, strawberry candy. Not as much spice and herbs as one could hope from a christmas beer. But very pleasant, in its sweet way.

tfredvik (296) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 16, 2011
Clear, medium to dark brown body with a red tint, light brown head and good lacing. Very malty and yeasty aroma. Dark fruits, honey, alcohol, red wine and perfume. Nice, but a bit faint. Medium to heavy sweet taste with very little bitterness. Pleasant although a bit simple flavour profile: yeast, caramel, perfume, dark fruits and alcohol. Sweet, vinous and strong, but still very drinkable.
[33 cl bottle, from Vinmonopolet Alna, Oslo]

Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange
