Nov 17, 2008 330ml bottle courtesy of fiver 29 – thanks John! Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a one finger cream head and decent lacing. Nose is dark fruits, Belgian yeast and spice. Taste is plums, raisins and spice. There’s a hint of alcohol in the finish but it hides its 10.5ABV pretty well. Medium prickly mouth feel. Great Belgian.

Oct 31, 2008 Dark brown color with minor tan head that doesn’t last long. Very complicated flavors that seem well balanced. Sweet, malty, fruity. This is an excellent brew. If I see it again, I’m picking some up and aging a bit more to see how it matures.

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.

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 :)

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.

Aug 31, 2008 Bu au Festival Bière et Saveur 08 (31/8), en bouteille au kiosk de Brouhaha. Ambrée noisette, très peu de collet. Arome de caramel anglaise malté mentale, avec des notes de mélasse légé. Goût de caramel anglaise licoreuse, bien malté, pas si alcoolisé et un peu sûterre. Bonne bière de Noël pour la Fête du Travail!
