Sep 6, 2008 Brown pour with white head. Spicy and sweet aroma. Sweet, spicy, and cookie/bread flavor. Not what I was expecting, not something I would try again either.

Aug 22, 2008 Poured a nice dark red/brown color with a big off white head. Aroma was of dark fruits and some nice spices. Flavor was just incredible. Most christmas beers are either weak, over overloaded with spices, but this was perfect, nice and spicey, but did not overtake the other complexities of the beer.

Aug 19, 2008 Very nice but subdued Belgian ale. Nice and sweet, but it was a bit off with the sweetness, darkness, fruitiness because it was combined with a light colored yeasty flavor profile of the more stereotypical belgians like Delerium and Duvel. Odd, yes, because even as it warmed the sugars never popped. But hey I’d buy the stuff again and enjoyed it, so I’ll rate it verrr nicely.

Aug 14, 2008 I just can’t get into these malt-driven Belgian ales. Alcohol, ripe fruits, sweet and bread-like. Well-crafted beer, but it’s not for me.

Aug 8, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown colour, creamy beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, chocolate and sweet alcohol. Flavour is soft, dark chocolate, dark fruits, roasted malts and some alcohol. Little metallic hint in the flavours, but not offensive. Oily texture. Not too sweet, very well balanced.

Jul 30, 2008 [07 bottle] Pours a dark chestnut brown with a fantastic creamy thick beige head. Great aroma, sweet and vinous, completely unique, vinegar, nutty, apples, varnish... it really does kinda smell like wood stain. Really nice stuff, flavors of dark malts, fruity, yeasty, light ripe banana, dates, yea I can taste some rum. Fruit cake is a good descriptor for this. Complex and balanced. Smooth fluffy carbonation, medium body... wow really nice.
