Bottle. Clear amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma of toffee, belgian yeast, dark fruit, and some light spicy notes. Flavor is smooth, sweet, sugary malt, some raisins and light earthy yeast. Medium body with active carbonation and a dryish mouth feel. Great xmas beer, not a spice bomb.

Quite clear, dark brown, no head. Strong aroma, alcohol, berries. Sharp, alcohol, sour. Thin on the palate. Not easy to drink.

33 cl bottle, Sheffield, UK via Beer Ritz Leeds. Brilliantly clear amber-ruby with a patchy beige head. Rasin, prune, xmas pudding and treacle aroma. More carbonated than expected, though helps to expand the flavour. Sweet, molasses and allspice come through, then a medium alcohol tinged finish. One of the best xmas belgians I think.

Poured a hazy dark orangish amber with no head to speak of. There were small pieces of sediment suspended in the beer even though I was carefull on the pour. The beer had very good carbonation and with the lack of a head you could see the bubbles rolling on the surface of the beer. There was a nice aroma of toffee, raisins and dark fruit. The beer had good effervesence and had a slightly creamy texture. There was a nice light tart flavor of cherries along with a good sweet malt flavor to balance the tartness. The finish was more tart & dry than sweet with a nice alcohol warmth.

Pater Marcus, Budapest. Nagyon sötét vörösesbarna színe van, és csak nagyon kevés, gyorsan el is pezsgő, laza sárgás habot fejleszt. Illata malátás, aszalt gyümölcsös, fűszeres, likőrösen alkoholos és finoman karamellás. Ízében a fűszeresség talán még erősebb, a likőrös alkoholosságnak és az édes összetevőknek, valamint kevés komlónak köszönhetően meglehetősen pikáns kis sör. Nagyon testes, kellemesen szénsavas és édes. Egyedi fűszerezettsége és melengető alkoholossága miatt kiváló választás karácsonyra.

color rojizo oscuro, aroma a brandy suave, un comienzo con un amargor marcado a lupulo que desaparece rapido y deja un regusto a malta suave. duradero y final dulce. muyy rica despues de una buena comida

Ruby red, off-white head. Malty, yeasty aroma with spice notes. Malty, sweet taste with brown sugar and slight spice notes. Alcohol and malt in the finish. Hides it’s alcohol pretty well.

330ml bottle from a trade. pours red with a tan head but is unbeliveably chunky. pretty ugly. aroma is sweet and sour, aged dark belgian, touch of spice. the flavour is light dark fruit, spice, light sour acidic character. kinda messy, a fresher bottle might be better but ill probably never find out.
