Apr 7, 2008 750ml bottle from Rumbles in Wellington. I had it at Galbraiths in Auckland too. This is the best of the Christmas beers I’ve had this year. It was dark red in the glass with a decent off-white head. Loads of spicy and fruity notes. Quite sweet but the alcohol balances that. Try not to drink a whole 750 by yourself like I did.

Apr 5, 2008 YERP. Wow this was very different. It has zero body to it, literally like 150proof liquor, but the flavor is so strong that the body seems to sting the flavors on your tongue. Really just a great beer, and a very harsh one if you aren’t into BSA’s.
The beer is sugary sweet like pickle juice is sour, and there are tons of ripe fruits floating around. Not so much many dry flavours like lemon or orange rind. Very excellent.

Apr 1, 2008 330 ml. Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a soft off-white head. Aroma is fruity with hints of plum and belgian yeast. Mouthfeel is highly carbonated and the glass has nice that persists throughout. Flavor is sweet and complex with hints of dark fruit, star anise, raisins and belgian candi sugars. Goes down warm and smooth, perfect for a cold winter night. Finish is short and relatively sweet with just a hint of alcohol. Would love to try an oak aged version of this beer.

Mar 30, 2008 bottle (2007 vintage) from west lakeview..... pours a semi-clear dark plum brown and decent sized off white head..... strong fruity aroma that jumps out of the glass along with some black licorice and spice..... flavors continue along that front but something mediciinal and cloyingly sweet gets in the way of it for me. the anise is very prominent. mouthfeel was smooth and creamy but i couldn’t get past the sweetness and black licorice.

Mar 26, 2008 Dark brown. Sweet aroma with notes of liquorice and dark fruits. The flavour is unpleasantly sweet with strong hints of anis, banana, syrup and port. I found it highly overrated.
