Dec 19, 2006 I was really impressed with this one. I should have had this one for my 1000th. The aroma is complex with toasted malt, brown sugar, spice, dark fruit, bubble gum, and yeast. The appearance is amber brown with a nice foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a toasty, caramel emphasis. The palate is smooth with a nice warm toasty finish which is one of the best I have had. I really like this beer.

Dec 19, 2006 Full flavored but wonderfully elegant, this does not taste like it’s 10.5%. Beautiful Gouden Carolus fruity aromatics with nice caramel in the mouth finishes with full but clean malts. Very nice.

Dec 18, 2006 mohogany pour with rising bubbles and frothy tan head. beautiful aroma of bananna, plum, raison, brown sugar, nutmeg and bubble gum. lively palate. 10% alcohol. This is fucking great. slight burn which is welcoming. dark fruits are sweet and the malts are thick and sticky. sugar dances on your tounge and melts like a maple sugar candy. Best Christmas brew that I’ve had to date.

Dec 17, 2006 Dark amber, this looks as potent as it sounds. Aroma is almost aggressive with fruit and spice... aniseed? Extraordinary. Flavor follows along the same tracks; plum, herbs, liquorice. No taste of alcohol, but you can really feel the 10.5%. Yeasty finish with a nice warm glow. Excellent, but while tasting this with a group of friends, there were some opposite opinions, not the easiest brew around.

Dec 17, 2006 Wonderful dark mahogany with clear red colour when seen through. Great big beige creamy headStunning aroma. Fruit, yeast, cloves, plums, alcohol, some cinnamon, some ginger. Taste is equally complex. Good full mouthfeel and slightly vinious. Plums, sweet, raisins, coriander, some vanilla - stunning.
