Grottenbier 750ml, 6.5% - Belgium

Generous pour, dark red color with a huge fluffy head.

Saint Landelin Spéciale Noël 750ml, 6.8% - France

How about a Christmas beer from France?

Murky orange color, vanilla head with some lacing.

Smells like a soaked kitchen cloth. Cheap and disgusting smell.

I could barely make it though half of the glass. The taste is no better than the smell. It simply taste like a cheap lager with fruits.

Perhaps the French should stick to making wine? :)

What a piece of crap! Avoid at all cost!!
