pours deep brown with an extremely large light tan head. doughy raisin nose with some kind of nutmeg like spice. sweet and thick with flavors. i can detect banana bread, peppery yeast, and cloves, plus an odd grapefruity note in the finish. not hop grapefruit, but something different. enjoyable overall.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Cloudy tea colored, looks weizenbockish. Sour nose, bit peachy, smells a mite like Maudite. Very malty, very good. Wintry, some caramel. Alcohol and sweetness are present at end. Somewhat sugary. Quite smooth.

Bug thanks goes out to MUSTANG3 for sharing this baby! Pours a dark brown body, with a thin beige head atop. Slight alcohol aroma, cognac?? Vinous, prunes and pears, roasted malts and sugars. Taste is malty, floral, fruity (pears and prunes), sweet too. Finish is mildly alcohol, with a sweet prune aftertaste. Nice! Thanks kevin!

UPDATED: JAN 6, 2008 75 cl bottle. Dark brown color. Beige head. Sweet (almost too much), fruity, caramel, alcohol. Dry finish. Balanced. Not very complex, but one of the best xmas-beers.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: MAR 29, 2009 This is the beer for winter! Full bodied and creamy, dark red-brown colored one with some delicious sediment in the body, a creamy tan head. Fruity and fine spicy-herbal thyme in the aroma, toasted grains. Complex body, fruity flavor with the herbal thyma again.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brownish red body, large head, great lacing. Aroma is malt dominated with sugar, spices, caramel, chocolate and darker fruits. Medium to heavy bodied, very smooth drinking. Fairly sweet. Flawless for what it is, but I was hoping for more in aroma and flavor.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep red-brown color pour with a lasting and lacy tan head. Big aroma of citrus, yeast, dark fruit, candy and some spice. Nice fruity flavor, with a malty and spicy finish. Smooth and creamy on the palate. Very nice!
