Apr 28, 2009 A rich milk chocolate aroma, beautiful color. Flavor is thick, some roast, some Christmas spice, maybe nutmeg and incredibly smooth. A hint of graininess and hops in the finish. An excellent beer.

11.0% ABV
I tried this beer on April 23, 2009 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a solid brownish-black with a 1" light brown head. The aroma was roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, yeast, and spices. The mouthfeel was full-bodied, slightly creamy and with medium carbonation. The flavour was roasted malt, chocolatey, with a hint of plums and molasses. A very enjoyable beer.

Apr 23, 2009 750 cork and cage. Dark brown pour with a tan head. Aroma of malt, toffee, chocolate. Notably belgian in character, doughy. Same flavor, but not as subtle. Hops blot out much of the light sugary notes. Nutmeg spiciness, smoky finish. Very well integrated alcohol.

Apr 23, 2009 This dark brown ale poured with a thick frothy tan head and a chocolate aroma. The flavor is rich and complex, with tastes of chocolate, coffee, multiple spices and bready yeast. It is a delicious dessert beer and should be drunk slowly, as the flavor changes continuously white the beer warms.
