Dec 20, 2007 750 shared with Juart. Pours an amber red with a medium foamy head. Nose of alcohol, spice, yeast, and wassel. Has a spicy, malty taste with lasting alcohol on the palate. This is my favorite Christmas beer that I’ve had this year.

Dec 20, 2007 750 ml bottle from South Bay Liquor. Pours a dense brown color with a small perfect layer of film. The nose is a heavy dosage of spice and true authentic Belgian yeast that I had been missing in the last few weeks of my life. So great to finally have a beer again that was balanced to perfection with no obvious flaws. The flavor is just immaculate and so smooth and rich because of the strong presence of spicy yeast backed by a big malt profile. This is a highly recommended beer and I plan on picking up some next year since it was that good.

Dec 18, 2007 750 split with Naka. Pours a great red/amber color with quickly disapating foamy head. Spicy McSpicerson .. .seems to be cloves, cinnamon, some nutmeg. After that is a huge carmel nose. Very spiced taste. Malt is diminished. No hops. Same spices as previously mentioned.There’s some appleness there too. Not bad.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle pours a fairly clear red with a decent head that clings the side and leaves some spotty lace.. The aroma is spiced and subtle dried fruit - sort of yeasty. The flavor is spicy (clove), rich malt, and more dry then I anticipated. This must be fresh; the hops still have flavor. There is a sour linger more detectable as it warms. The palate is rich and has a pronounced carbonation that cleanses nicely. Overall, this is pretty darn good and perhaps underrated.

Dec 17, 2007 Updated: Nov 28, 2008<i>Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget</i>. Dark murky reddish brown with a medium beige head. Overwhelmimgly spicy malt aroma with ginger, orange peels, and clove. Good mouthfeel but too sweet for me as most belgian Xmas beers.
