Aug 8, 2009 Deep reddy brown with a thin lasting light tan head, aroma is a joy - sweet, alcoholic and spicy. Taste is sweet-ish with a burnt sugar edge to it and a good dose of spice (licorice and dried fruits)

Aug 7, 2009 On tap at Naked City. Pours a dark, cola brown, with a smallish off-white head. Aroma is a punch in the face. This stuff has some serious character, and yes - it smells like Christmas. Candied orange peel, cloves, anise (licorice?), and allspice melded with the classic dark fruity malts of a dark Belgian ale. This is like a liquid version of a baked good someone might give you for the holiday season... except far better. Really, really interesting brew - packed with flavor, extremely seasonal (though I’m drinking it in August)... really nice. This has got to be one of my favorite breweries in the world.

Jul 31, 2009 750 ml. Rich and sweet strong ale, but far from cloying. Plenty of complexity. Hazy brown body with a frothy, light brown head that diminishes to tan pools. Aroma of dark fruits, plum, clove, cinnamon, orange peel. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish is moderately sweet and moderately bitter with some light acidity. The alcohol is not apparent until the finish and even then is far from upfront. You can taste the candy sugar and fruits and get a hint of licorice. Medium to full body with a velvety texture and lively carbonation. Top-notch beer.
