UPDATED: JAN 1, 2013 I am not easily impressed with these spiced holiday beers. Nice looking black beer. No real aroma but there is this slight background of weird spiceiness inthere. Tastes alot like their dubbel. I appreciate that there is lots spices in there but it really covers up the goodness of the brew. Not over the top like so many other speced beers and I like those attributes about this beer.
