33cl bottle. Golden colour with white haed, persistent with good lacing. Aroma is yeasty and sweet. Flavour is alcoholic, sweet, browny sugar, caramel and cinnamon. In the final results an alcoholic beer with sweet long notes on the palate. Carbonation is medium-high, the same as body, medium high, with a oily feel.

It pours bubbly butterscotch amber with some nice dregs from the end of the bottle. The aroma is light sweet fruits, notes of apple and pear soft in the nose. The flavor of Belgian yeast and sweet fruit notes with some light heat. Overall it is easy on the palate with a nice full body.

33cl bottle. Pours a light brown. Clear. Small head. Nose : Dried fruits (plums and cherry). Spices (cinnamon and clove) . Caramelized malts. Sip : Full with a light carbonation. Little foamy. Sweet with dried fruits. Little bitterness on the end. Little sour from yeast and fermented dried fruits. It’s a proper amber, x-mas beer. Without the overwhelming spice flavor. No more, no less.

Bottle. Color brown with medium head. Aroma caramel, cinnamon, yeast, floral. Taste sweet, spicy, caramel, fruits.

Dark brown color with a fine white head. Strong aroma. Sweet flavor with nots of fruits. Fine beer but with a repulsive etiquette.

One of these beers I come back time after time, and no wonder. This is very good. The beer has good head, liquid is bit brown. There is quite much alcohol sweetness and loads of aromas that remind berries. At the end this is very nice Belgian style ale.

(Bottled).Nice spiritual symolisim on the bottle : I expected a more pale ale , going by the Hoegaarden’s customs ...drank from a Chimay goblet,it resembles any Chimay ; Swillin’ this is boozy, fruity, with buttery notes, A rich palate as a spine .

Bottle from Csak a jó sör. Poured murky, with a deep ruby-brown color and a tan, creamy foam that stays. Coriander, cinnamon, walnuts, honey, caramel, yeast in the nose. Caramel sweet taste with plum, raisins, dark chocolate, hints of apple in the aroma. Sweet, long lasting finish. Alcohol well hidden. Excellent!
