Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe

Dark brown color with a light off white foam head. Yeasty aroma with a slight "roasted" something. Not too heavy on tounge and a nice smooth finish. Wasn’t too bad with my turkey.

We just got this one in, Poured with a thick tan head, ruby red beer, The aroma is yeasty, dark roasted fruits. The flavor is dry, dark fruits, yeasty, fresh bread, bitter chocolate, and no alcohol to be found. The body is the cleansing carbonation well balanced beer- very refreshing.

Deep cloudy brown in color. It almost looks like muddy water. Dried fruit, cherries and citrus round out the aroma. Flavor consists of a fruit cake component. Definitely spice and Christmas flavors are present. Overall, it makes a nice sipping beer.

I can’t believe I’ve waited so long to rate this awesome beer. Pours a very dark, deep red with a lively tan head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is very assertive, loaded with dark fruits. Flavor is phenomenal, with an immediate smoke and roasted coffee flavors that is mellowed by dark fruit undertones – cherry and plum – and even a little citrus. The fruit flavors become more prevalent towards the finish, which has a gentle spicy bite to it. Finish leaves a roasted smoke on the palate. Palate is fairly thin with a lively carbonation. Overall I think this is an excellent brew that is very, very drinkable.

Thick foamy whitish brown head, aroma of malt and a some nuts, burnt flavor, raisin like. Can’t really taste the alcohol at all, good amount of carbonation. Not bad at all.

Pours a deep brown with a decent head that dissipates quickly. Sweet nutty and dark fruit aroma. Taste is a prune and raisin confection in a light/medium mouthfeel and a refreshing carbonation on the tongue. I don’t detect any alcohol, but I’m drinking this at slightly less than cellar temperature. Bottled 14 months ago. Nice.

I bought this beer because my girlfriend thought the elephant was cute and I figured the alcohol % would be good enough to get her drunk and do things that would make that giant pink elephant blush. It poured much darker than I expected. two fingers of a white foamy head. It had an amazing aroma of prunes, figs, and alcohol. The taste is great, few spices i cant single out, sweet with dark fruits, balanced with belgian yeast and some obvious but not obtrusive alcohol.

On tap at Holeman & Finch. Pours a deep, reddish amber with an big off-white head that shows excellent lacing and retention. The aroma is very sweet with tons of dark fruit, mainly figs and raisin, and plenty of candi sugar on top of the generous caramel malt presence. There are some spices thrown in for good measure. The taste very much follows the aroma and is based on top of the big caramel sweetness. There is probably a tad less sweetness in the taste and a bit more musty spiciness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate, soft carbonation. This is a solid, if not spectacular, take on the style that’s very drinkable for the ABV.
