Dec 9, 2007 Christmas 2006 version poured with with a thick tan head and produced bold aromas of raisins and candi sugar. Flavors offered hints of maize and liquorice. Overall slightly sweet dark malt flavors dominated, with a slightly warming finish. Nice.

Dec 6, 2007 Pours black, almost opaque, until raised to the light, when beautiful garnet highlights shine through. Head is huge, leaving a tan lace on the glass with each sip. Aroma is dark malt, candi suger and loads of dark fruit, including figs, dates and even some figgy pudding. Alcohol notes shine through in aroma. Flavor reveals more candi sugar, alcohol and dark fruits. Warming all the way down, leaving rich dark chocolate aftertaste. Body is suitably light for a Belgian style beer.

Dec 6, 2007 Flaske. En årgang 2006. Superdejlig juleøl. Her er sødmen bakket godt op af krydderier og en fløjlsblød mundfylde der gør at selvom man kan smage at øllen er potent kammer det på ingen måde over.

Dec 5, 2007 Superb. Only very lightly spiced, but the usual notes of fig, black cherries, dark caramel and molasses are present. The faintest nutmeg is also the only creature stirring, including the mouse.
