3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Enjoyed on New Years Eve ’08. Pour is a medium brown semi opaque with a small tan head. The aroma is pleasant and big being full of fruit, alcohol, funk, licorice, and yeast. Flavor is similar with some spice. Smooth feel. Was surprised to find this had 10% alcohol.

33cl bottle. Pours a slightly hazy brown colour with a small tan head. Typical Belgian aroma with some fruit and sugar. Really pleasant taste that hides the 10 ABV amazingly well. Flavour of syrup, candied fruit and a little warming alcohol in the finish. Great on a cold day.

Thanks to my brother-in-law for this one (nice little Christmas Eve gift!)
Loved it. Pours a copper/amber color, rich puffy slightly off-white head. Solid lacing throughout. Aromas of dried fruits and a crisp finish. Agree with the previous posting... a nice change of pace from other heavier Christmas beers.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with an off-white, frothy head. Lacing is excellent. Aromas of bananas, citrus, and apples. Crisp initial texture with a creamy finish. Carbonation is almost perfect. Tastes of roasted malts with a bit of fruit to finish. Very good beer and a nice change from the other Christmas beers.
