ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA Mar 12, 2005 Updated: Feb 23, 2008Hazy brown body. Aroma is metallic with spicing, fruit, unrefined sugar. Medium to light body, somewhat sweet. I used to like this? bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Mar 9, 2005 Bottle. Brown beer with a biege head. Sweet candy malt and some fruit aroma. Dark fruit flavor that’s yeasty with some malt backing. Finishes dry. Well balanced and easy to drink. Masks alcohol well. LiebeBier (788), Annapolis, Maryland, USA Mar 8, 2005 Quite tasty. This beer was indeed spicy and sweet. Alcohol well masked, an enjoyable beer. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA Mar 7, 2005 Very clean and balance brune. Lite mouthfeel some woody and bread notes with toasted almonds and raisins. Not near one of the best Belgian Christmas beers. Just average. Jukkabro (2996), Tampere, Finland Feb 23, 2005 Very dark red, amber color.Spices, licorice, toffee, sweetness, caramel in aroma, very rich. Little beige head. Licorice, chocolate, caramel, lasting sweet chocolate in aftertaste. Mild alcohol in aroma and flavor. Somehow short ending, still excellent brew! stouby (1932), Holbaek, Denmark Feb 20, 2005 Bottle, at home.
Dark brown. Sweet and fruity aroma, yet well balanced. Long duration. kook (2034), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Feb 18, 2005 Ruby with a lasting beige head. Great aroma, some banana notes, caramel, spices. Sweetish yet balanced flavour. Banana showing up again, with toffee, plums and spices. Little bit thinner than i was hoping for in body, but still a really tasty beer. cphbeerking (153), København K, Denmark Jan 29, 2005 A flavorful, somewhat typical warming Belgian with a healthy dose of brown sugar (or so it feels). Tasty, but not morish in the vein of real top Belgians. Still, I enjoyed it and will be back for more.
