Aroma is sweet with sugar and apricot. Flavour is sweet with lots of apricot, burned sugar, some toffee, caramel and orange peel. Sweet and sugary stuff like Belgian chrismtas ales usually are. Somehow I like the apricot aroma here.

Draught @ Akkurat. Pours black with a beige head. The aroma has got notes of christmas spices (gingerbread), dried fruits and port. The taste is sweet, with notes of raisin and marzipan. Smooth. Enjoyable and cozy beer, but the sweetness is almost too much in the long run.

Black colour. Light fruity aroma. Flavour is quite sweet but in a fruity way. It’s smooth and has a fresh feel.
