Vuoden verran kaapissa kypsytelty versio. Kaatuu lasiin mustana/hyvin tummanruskeana, vaahto on ruskea, runsas ja kuplainen. Haju on inkiväärinen, kaardemummainen, piparinen, joulutorttuinen sekä hieman kuivatun hedelmäinen ja makea. Maku on alkoholinen (mutta lämmittävä), inkiväärinen, kaardemummainen ja piparinen sekä dubbelmaisen luumuisen maltainen. Myös hieman kuivattua hedelmää löytyy, ja makeutta. Suutuntuma on lämmittävä ja katkera. Kokonaisuutena hyvin jouluinen olut, joka lämmittävällä tuntumallaan sopii talvi-iltaan oikein hyvin.

Dark mahogany pour with a khaki head. Nose is gingerbread, dark chocolate, and roasted malt. A bit of ash, nutmeg, licorice, dark fruit, and maybe some coffee. Nice gingerbread flavor to this beer, too. Dark fruits and roasted malts, chocolate, nutmeg, cinnamon, licorice, ash, and burnt sugar are also notable.

Looks just like the previous vintages I have had, dark brown, light foam head. I recently read a description of this beer as OSA on steroids and that sounds appropriate. This seems to have a similar gumminess to it, black licorice ,brown sugar, tastes good and really fits the season. The label is great too.

Bottle I poured last Christmas Eve, dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is belgian spice with some caramel malts and a little cocoa. Taste is caramel, dark fruit, orange peel, spice, and yeast. Silky texture. Very tasty and enjoyable.

Highly drinkable spiced belgian brown ale. Really rich and nutty with medium sweetness and a crisp spiced and dry finish. Malts are fantastic and complex with tons of flavor nuiances. Great work.
