25cl flaska från 2011. Mahognyfärgad öl med ett ljusbeige ganska storbubbligt skum men som ändå ligger kvar. Doften har blivit lite funkig. Jordkällare, läder men även fruktigare inslag som fikon och russin. Välbalanserad smak. Allt från läder till kryddighet till torkad frukt. Lång härlig eftersmak.

Pours a large frothy light brown head that mostly diminishes. Body is hazy and red brown. Aroma contains roasted malts, molasses, lemon, grape, raisin, cherry, forest fruits and spices. Flavor is light acidic going to moderately sweet. Bitterness is present all the way, getting stronger in the finish. Body is medium, texture is creamy and carbonation soft. A good christmas beer.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle. Pours a darker amber color with a large, beige head of foam. Aroma is softly spiced, but has lots of sweet belgian influence. Taste is sweet and just a little spicy with something close to tartness. Pretty nice.

UPDATED: MAY 26, 2013 Boy this is a good one. Had on tap at my local Belgian bar. Would like to try in the bottle to see any differences. Stong, boozy, with spice and smoke notes. Pretty malty but a lovely holiday offering.

Kaatuu lasiin tummanrubiininpunaisena ja isolla tiiviillä vaahdolla, joka kuitenkin katoaa suht nopeasti. Haju on täyteläisen mausteinen, korianteria, kaardemummaa, luumuhilloa, marjaisuutta ja glögiä tulee mieleen. Myös pieni ripaus anista ja ananasta on joukossa. Maku on niin ikään mausteinen, karamellinen, luumuinen ja hieman marjainen. Anis löytyy taas taustalta. Suutuntuma on täyteläinen ja runsas. Kokonaisuutena upea olut, joka on monipuolinen sekä maun että hajun suhteen.

33 cL bottle from Beers of Europe poured into a long stemmed Cropton glass. Dark red-brown with bubbly head. Spice, malt and a little fruit in the aroma. Sweet, lightly spiced and tasty. A hint of roast and some bitterness in there.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2013 Heerlijk winter biertje voor bij de open haard. Best zoet met een karamel tot dropige nasmaak. Heeft een mooie donkere kleur, met een warme schuimkraag. Geproeft in Brugge van de tap. Ook thuis uit fles geprobeerd. Wat meer koolzuur geeft nog meer mondgevoel. Heerlijk.
