Dec 11, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, GregClow, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. Dark brown, small white head. Caramel aroma, some alcohol, light spices - nice. Good taste - more caramel and malt, alcohol, rather sweet and spicy. Very good yet surprisingly very drinkable as well at this alcohol percentage.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a dark ruby murky colour with a small head and little carbonation.
Very fruity smell, lot’s of sweet fruits there mixed in with some spices and raisins.
Taste is also very sweet and fruity, can taste several fruits such as oranges, apples and vaguely some caramel.
Very well balanced christmas beer with a good nice warmth when going down.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Easy there santa...lost a chunk of this all over the work surface as this exploded in to life. Strange looking grey tinged dark cloudy brown colour with a fair amount of sediment floating around. Aroma was spicy with some malt and dark fruit. Similar flavour which was sticky sweet and slightly cloying. Balance not quite there. Thought this would be a lot better; a let down.

Nov 27, 2008 Little hazy brown with a huge yet disappearing beige head. Sweet malty, spices, caramel, yeasty. Same could be said for flavours. I’d expect more. No traces of the crazy complexity of their brune.

Oct 12, 2008 At the Kulminator Antwerp. Dark beer with a small head. Fruity aroma: dark fruits like raisins and plums. I find these in the taste as well. Also a bit of chocolate and caramel. Notes of alcohol at the end.
