Pater Lieven Kerst Xmas 9° is brewed by Van Den Bossche brewery. This beer has a deep, dark brown color with a dash of red. The beige foam hides hot alcoholic sweet in a beer that smells like chocolate, sweet from caramel and candy. In the mouth the candy sugar comes back, pleasantly combined with chocolate bitter. The aftertaste is long and deliciously sweet.
Deep, deep red clear with large brown lasting light irregular lacing head. Dried fruit, spices, chocolate, coffee, plum pudding and very faint yeast aroma. Medium body, and mild bitter sweet palate hiding the 9% ABV extermely well and for quite a while before it kicks in. Flavours closely mirror aromas nicely all the way through although spices predominate in the aftertaste. A very pleasant all round beer but could be more emphatic about what it does have.
