Note: The Best Before Date had manually been changed from 15 Februari to 15 March. Good thing I’m not afraid of beer "gone bad", but still questionable if you ask me.

Clear brown beer, little white head, unstable and non adhesive. Aroma: yeast, spices (cinnamon), sweet caramel, fruity. Very christmassy aroma. Taste: caramel, spices (cloves), dried fruit, somewhat sweet but not cloying. Aftertaste: some hops, pices, citrus, chocolate or mocha.

Bottle 2010 version at Kerstbier Festival, Essen, Belgique, 19.12.10 This pours with excellent clarity, mid brown yellowing at the edges with off-white head. Really nutty and also fruity beer beer, soft carbonation in the mouth, some lingering sweetness. Fine but nothing special. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Brownish amber in color with a ring of white head. I was a bit stuffed up when I tasted it, but it wasnt bad.

Bottle 100cl. w. swing top @ home.
Alc. 6.5%. Clear medium amber color with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, light butter and vinegar. Flavor is moderate to heavy acrid caramel sweet, light to moderate acidic and moderate burnt caramel bitter with a long to average duration, light to moderate vinegar, sour notes. Body is medium, texture is oily and sticky, carbonation is soft. There is clearly something gone wrong, but it is actually not bad despite the acidity. [20100326]
