Bottle (750ml) My bottle shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and tupalev - via trade with glouglouburp. 2007 vintage. Cloudy brown-amber with a large lasting fluffy off-white head and plenty of floaties - lovely lacing: yep, that’s des Rocs all right. Lush dry yeast aroma, sweet spice, solid caramel malt - very sweet and seasonal. The taste follows, seems a little creamy-lactic, even a tad minty - whatever, it’s yummy. Soft mouthfeel, sugary, lightly carbonated, mostly just sweet/spicy with a moderate amount of warming alcohol - so smooth, really hit the spot.

<i>Bottle (750ml) shared with HogTownHarry, garthicus, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry.</i> Pours a murky amber-brown with tons of floaties and a small diminishing creamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel malt, yeast, fruit and some light spices. Nice flavour is sweet and malty along with some spices, yeast, brown sugar and fruit. Alcohol is well hidden. Medium bodied. Pretty good stuff!

little bottle, via trade with ygbtsm, thanks Brad. Another beer a good night with friends. Pours golden orange with a tan head. Nose is wonderful very nice, and I cant quite place it but sweet and yummilious. Taste is sweet and pretty tasty, but doesn’t quite match the nose. Nice rich belgian strong.

Dark brown in colour, large beige head, yeast floaties. Aroma was spicy, yeasty, some sweetness, malty, with a bit of chocolate. Flavour was warming, smooth, sweet, with a surprising amount of malt. Finish is a spicy coco bitterness.

Bottled(750ml). -Dark brown coloured, small to medium off-white head, dried fruits nose. Sweet malty, caramel and dried fruits taste with notes of spices and plums. Alcohol is very noticable, a bit syrupy but very good Noel.

@ Kerstbierfestival Essen &#40;B&#41;. A brown colored beer, with a beige head. The aroma of caramel malts, sweets, dark fruit. And some spices. The taste of choco malt with dark fruits like cherry and plumes. It is a little bitter. It has a fruity bitter aftertaste.

Dark deep browny red beer that was chock full of floaties, lasting tan coloured head made from 100s of tiny bubbles. Aroma is sweet and slightly spiced cake like with a similar raisiny, caramel, alcohol taste.
