Bottle. Pours clear red-amber with big foamy head. Aroma is caramel, bread, butter, malt and spice. Taste is sweet. Body is light,texture is slick, carbonation is average. Finishes is short and dry. Not very memorable.

Amber colour and not too heavy. Good Christmas beer. Would go well with food. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2012 Pours deep amber, with a small white head that stays with you down the glass. Aromas of salt licorice, burnt caramel and a faint and sweet belgian funk. Same goes for flavor.

Chopp. Amber brown colour, beige medium head, ok lacing. Aroma of toasty caramel, spice some dark fruit and malt. Ok mouthfeel. Flavour has a medium sweetness, has toasted caramel and malt with some spices and dark fruit, mild to medium bitterness.

Bottle at Yespr’s - Thanks. Clear brown - white head. Fatness, diacetyl, sweet malty, spicy - high spicy, dried fruits, off, youghurt, light alcoholic, bad.

Deep amber clear body with a somewhat creamy, white head that is short-lived and doesn’t leave much lacing on the glass. Moderate aroma that is dominated by sweet liquorice, it reminds me of the Kick liquorice candy bar. Also some dark fruity notes. The taste is moderate sweet with a moderate to light bitter finish. The flavour profile is a bit more complex and far stronger than the aroma (if it’s possible to compare the strength of an aroma to the strength of a flavour…). The liquorice is in the front, also some spicy bitter note that is closer to anise seeds. I also get caramel and fruits. Oily texture, soft carbonation, medium body. A bit too much liquorice. but still a nice one.
