Santa's Little Helper

Belgian Strong Dark Ale

This beer is inspired by the Belgian Christmas Beers, known for their thick warming body, light spices and balanced hop profile. It’s a dark brown, sweet and potent Belgian strong ale. The aroma gives away notes of spices, caramel, roasted malt and nuts. The flavor has some hints of dark dried fruit, brown sugar, and liquorice. It’s sweet with notes of caramel, orange peel and spices and the finish is lightly dry due to the balanced hop profile.

2016 edit. Flavour is pretty much dead. Scent has some Belgian spices left.

Una cerveza de alto contenido alcohólico pero balanceado, no tan recodable como quisiera.

Enjoyed this before heading out for NYE celebrations. Truly an awesome seasonal Belgian ale!

Øllet er på drikke tidspunktet ca. 10 år gammel, hvilket også er alderen på Godthåb Øllaug - Stort tillykke. Drukket den 291223. Skønne og krydrede smagsnoter af malt, karamel, nødder, tørret frugt, brun sukker og lette lakridsnoter i eftersmagen. LoveIT

Dark chocolate, brown sugar, caramel, and a dollop of liquorice for Christmas. Boozy. 🎄🎅

Advent calendar beer #24… did my best, but Noel will have to wait until I can share it with a friend!! This is one I’ve had for a while. Saving it for something special, but luckily, it’s done well with time. Hopefully like me ;). Haha.

2014 vs 2015 tasting. Absolutely no noticeable difference. Some burnt sugar and licorice in nose and flavour. Boozy. Low carbonation, as expected.

Boozy and dark with some vanilla. Now this is what makes me feel festive (even while living in a country with forever tropical weather.) A bit more lingering roastiness in the aftertaste would be nice, but this is still solid.

5/12 Beers of Xmas! Malty aroma of stroopwafel. Decadent flavors of caramel-covered nuts, figs and raisins, nutmeg and cloves. Sweet finish, slight alcohol burn, hint of peppery spice from the yeast.
