Draft: Beautiful dense white foam leaves behind magnificent cobweb lacework. Crystal clear auburn liquid. Dynamite aroma of bubblegum, maraschino cherry, wood, and a faint sign of mustiness. Trademark De Dolle feel: Superbly slick and soft. Borderline complex flavors of sugar, rich sweet cherries, which nearly resemble cough syrup, and a touch of bread in the finish. Too much emphasis on the cough syrup flavors, and not enough cleanliness. Also, not an easy drinker, but a fine after dinner sipper, and that’s about it.

Mar 11, 2010 0,33 l bottle, vintage 2009, bought at PreZBF, Belgium.
Poured hazy golden with a realy nice, creamy, after a while lacing delicious white head. Aroma is a concentrated caramel and liqueric one with a lot of spicies like vanilla and clove, some citrusses and raisins, honey.. The beer has an oily texture, a spicey character because the feeling of clove, cinnamon and vanilla. Fruity, malt and caramel based flavor with apricot, figs and honey. Harsh, flowery bitter in the aftertaste. Because of the high abv the sweet liqueric taste leads but not rules the taste. Balanced brew.

Mar 6, 2010 Bottle. Thanks to fata2683 for the trade! Pours hazy orange-amber, thick persistent white head, nice lacing. Nose is lovely and bready, stale hops, acidity, sweet cake, berries, dates, very complex and rich. Palate is full, yeasty, and mouthfilling, with more bread, tartness, fruit, and great bitterness throughout. If this is a Christmas Beer, this is my new favorite for the style.
