Dec 31, 2005 Bottled. Dark amber coloured, big beige foamy head. Weak aroma of malts and some grainy notes. Also kind of sweet. Flavour first malty then it turns sweet. Pretty boring in my opinion, I had expected more.... Kind of bitter/sourish aftertaste.

Dec 30, 2005 Updated: Dec 25, 2008Pours a dark brown. Much darker than I expected. Smallish head. There isn’t a very strong aroma, but what is there is primarily spicy. Flavor is spicy and malty, with a hint of warming alcohol. There is also a definite citrus character. The spicy flavor lingers and grows as an aftertaste. A pretty good ale for a cold winter night.

Dec 27, 2005 Smells very christmas spicy. A nice spicy dubbelish strong ale, thought the alcohol doesn’t take over. Quite good, but the best is still the brown.

Dec 27, 2005 Bottel, 25cl. Hmmm, only 25cl. What a pity! When i was really starting to enjoy this one..... Pours a dark brown amber colour with hints of red. Huge beige head, mostly lasting. Nicely carbonated. Aroma is very complex, predominantly malty and spicy. Flavour is strong but not as good as the aroma. In fact, body is a litttle thin. It has notes of caramel, malt and coffee. A little less sweeter than i expected. A very good beer but, in my opinion, a bit over-rated.

Dec 26, 2005 Updated: Dec 23, 2006Mostly clear bronze body with moderate carbonation and a foamy, beige head. Nose is not particularly aromatic or interesting, mostly just suggesting caramelized brown sugar. Flavor is of currants, dried plums, and brandy. Semi-dry with herbal and woody hop flavors and substantial bitterness.
