Tap. Brown/hazy pour medium carbonation and heavenly aroma of rich sweet malts and spices. Taste was just as good as the aroma; fig, plum, very deep and complex and warming on the finish. Really enjoyed this one!

Rating #737!
Pours a dark cloudy brownish-black with a pale brown head and some lacing. Light bananas Foster aroma - quite sweet. Light browned banana taste, opening up into fantastic spice, buttery pastry and sweet coconut! Smoky campfire notes as it warms. Creamy thick body, well carbonated. Great stuff - thick, spicy and sweet!

Deep mahogany brown. Some cherry fruitiness, plum, fruitcake and brown sugar depth. Lively, fruity, juicy character. Nice dark sugar and breadcrust complexity. Alcoholic dryness in the finish. Combines Anglo and Belgian elements into a beer that is distinctly American. This is a fun sipper.

This definitely has the Belgian strong/dubbel aroma. Flavor is pretty good overall. Quite sweet and a little fruity, a pretty tasty beer.

On-tap at Elysian Fields and Tangletown.
Dark fruits, plums, raisins, figs blackened toffee and strong hints of caramel. Outstanding flavor profile, estery and very alcoholic without any "hot" spots. Great Belgian yeast profile, easy sipping and very dangerous.

Had on tap at Tangletown. Dark brown, unfiltered appearance. A holiday version of Elysian’s Bete Blanche, I think. Darker in color, malty, caramelly flavor dominates. Not much hop flavor here. Pretty tasty.

Really enjoyed this Elysian Christmas beer. Pours deep brown with thin cappuccino head and lace. Smells smoked, of toasted malts, sugar and bitter chocolate. Taste isn’t what I expected from the smell. Floral followed by chocolate and caramel. Unusual and works well.
