3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle @ home shared with my dad. Slightly hazy amber color, decent sized beige head that lasts for awhile. Smell malts, sweetness, lightly yeasty. Taste malts, sweet, yeast, some fruits, raisins, plums and grapes. Low to medium carbo, medium body. Better then expected.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Full bodied, sweet, with an aroma of malts and dark fruits. Spicied just right for a winter beer and fairly alcoholic to boot! A nice winter warmer.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
On tap. Amber coloured beer with a nice white head. Cookie aroma, some yeast. Little alcohol detected. Good carbonation going on. Flavour is crumbly, sweet and spicey. Well balanced, great winter beer.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle @ home, no BBE info
Looks like kotikalja and actually does also smell a bit like it. Aroma has metal, earthy notes, some dark fruits and hints of sugar. Flavour has alcohol, some sweet fruits – especially banana. Feels glueish. Dry finish with some hops. Somewhat sticky palate. Not very nice, feels like an unbalanced homebrew.
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Murky brown with a creamy tan head. Candy sugar, clove, fennel, cookie dough and cinnamon. Rich flavour with sweet cookie goodness and a very small bitter undertone. Smooth and full body. So much to discover in this beer. Even better than expected. The typical ’t IJ yeast works wonders here. One of the best Christmas beers i’ve tried yet.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On draught at the Brouwerij. Pours a murky orange-brown color with a medium creamy off-white head that recedes slowly to a dense film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark fruit, spices and malt. Full-bodied with flavors of caramel malt, raisins, spice and yeast. The finish is fruity and leaves a lingering spicy yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.
