leeburg (92), Appalachian Trail, West Virginia, USA Nov 30, 2007 Dark. Light, transient head. Aroma of malts and spice. Flavors of sweet fruit and spices. Another awesome beer from Gouden Carolus. One of my personal favorites, period. I’d drink this any time.
stankenk (60), Maplewood, Minnesota, USA Sep 23, 2008 Pours a dark brown. The nose is nutmeg, cinnamon and banana. Comes across the palate with a a little more than necessary carbonation, with strong notes of cinnamon and banana; very malty. Finishes with almost a nutmeg, and banana that lingers. Gary__ (10), on vacation, Hong Kong Sep 20, 2008 Shit yeah a really nice picturesque bottle lable.Beautiful bottle label o. Gosh I’d like to enjoy a few 750mls of this in front of the fire place with the proverbial X-mas sweaters- at least untill I pass out and burn the crib down : Its a beer that makes you play Christmas music in late september: A beer with a crap load of dried fruit profile.from the yeast ? .dry backdrop. I enjoyed the spices. Any christmas ale worth their stuff needs spices. Nutty multiness moves around.Classy :) TheGrandMaster (1486), Auckland, New Zealand Sep 17, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), pours a deep reddish brown with a filmy head. A christmas spice hop aroma, with cakey malt, caramal, banana, currants, licorice, and rum. A full malty palate, sugary, with caramal malt with those christmas flavours picked up in the aroma. The finish is firey and spicy. gerardoluna (168), Mexico Sep 15, 2008 Updated: Sep 18, 2008[Eyes] Dark brown like the classic color with a moorefoamy white head.
