Mar 5, 2007 Bottle from unclemattie; Thanks Matt; Nose is sweet brown sugar with cloves, dark fruit, and nutmeg; cherry brown with a small beige head; flavor is smoky sweet caramel malt with a little bitterness in the finish. I like the Corsendonk Agnus and Pater better but this is pretty good.

Mar 4, 2007 A mahogany pour with a good light brown head. An aroma of dark brown sugar and malt. A semi sweet flavor of malt, some spice. A tad of bitter in the finish but very pleasant. The body is solid I am not crazy about the agressive carbonation but over all very good beer.

Feb 24, 2007 750 ml bottle. Deep copper colour with a red hue. Throws a tall off-white head that clings to the glass. Spicy nose, pepper and notes of cardamom. Distant cork aroma. Sweet malt flavours and lots of pungent black pepper. Smooth texture and soft and mellow flavours. Slightly hot, both from alcohol and black pepper. Finishes quite dry.

Feb 3, 2007 At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. In my mind, not as good as the Affligem Noel. Pours dark brown to black with a medium tan colored head. Pronounced spices and a bit of heat to the nose. Sweet and citrus with the thick spices to the flavor. Just a bit overdone and disjointed to be outstanding, but still very tasty.
