Murky dark brown color with a small lid of light tan bubbles. Lightly roasted malts, dark chocolate syrup, and licorice scents. Hints of alcohol in the background. Strong flavors, with licorice, anise, chocolate extract, burnt raisins and sweet grains. A bit syrupy in feel. Finish is quite quick and uneventful. Linger has some roasted malts and dark caramelized fruits. Things don’t seem to come together in this one. Seems like something I would pour over bread pudding.

May 9, 2009 I liked this one much more than Jazz88 did. I thought the roasted, coffee, and rich chocolate flavors were nicely blended, with a decent bitter touch. Reasonably rich palate. But not everyone is so taken with this porter-like Christmas beer. Works for me.

May 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Sweet woody cherry and coco malt. Has an utterly delicious aroma, just killer! Chewy chocolate and coco body with a light coffee bitterness and a lightly smoky maple oak with licorice accents to finish. Nice lingering mineral porter like character as well. Awesome brew.

Apr 29, 2009 Batch 191 Medium dark-beige head over practically black beer. Coffee, blackcurrantleaves, valerian, caramel and burnt sugarsyrup, chicory extract. Dry, nearly dusty coffeetaste, Haagse Hopjes (kind of coffee sweets). Generally roasted and quite sweet: liquorice in the finish. Warming up, more hopflavour. Very well bodied, bit spritzy, creamy-viscous MF. A bit... predictable.
