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.

Best before 2016. Still good. Round sweet aroma with notes of caramel, dark fruits & syrup based bread. Smooth mouthfeel. Taste of dark fruits, caramel, figs, Christmas bread & mild red fruits. Tingly bitterness. Lingering finish. Very well hidden abv.

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.

Another complex win from Mikkeller. It reminds me of bananas foster, with notes of banana, caramel, and cinnamon. The finish has a lovely burnt caramel banana flavor. It is dark, yet surprisingly not overly heavy. Super enjoyable!

Aahh, great! Big fermented dark fruits flavour, some caramel, molasses, later light toasted malts, brown sugar. Sweet, sticky, light spices, lightly boozy.
