Dec 7, 2005 Pours a golden brown with small but lasting head. Aroma is big almost like a red wine, fruity and slightly spicy. Flavor is sweet, like a normal belgian ale at first, but the flavor drops off quickly and leaves behind a kind of strange spiciness for the finish. I don’t think the spices used and the belgian style really go together. The beer was also a little on the watery side, not full tasting and seemed under-carbonated. A decent beer.

Nov 28, 2005 Enjoyed with friends on Thanksgiving (2005). Batch #10. Hazy amber with a frothy head. The aroma greats me with yeast and fruit (pear, cherry) and spices like nutmeg and allspice (maybe some cardamom). Spicy flavor with clove, coriander, cinnamon. Belgian yeast flavors (light) and a light sweetness. Adequate body (light-medium). I think this went the best with my turkey; though overall I was not that impressed with the brew. Good but nothing I’ll seek out again.

Nov 22, 2005 Aroma of sweet spices and fruits. Appears cloudy with a slightly off white fizzy head. Flavor typical of a belgian beer. Lots of spice present. Ok for a winter offering, but not as good as the english style winters.

Nov 7, 2005 750 mL bottle, batch #8. Pours clear and clean copper with a tall fizzy and frothy "loud" head that stays mostly throughout with lined lacing. Cellared oak and yeast (dust) start with sweet ligthly roasted caramel malts following and wheat, fruit (banana, grape) and spice notes. Sweet medium acidic caramel malt flavor with yeast and fruits to finish. Medium bodied and fizzy palate that ends somewhat dry, very lively carbonation.
