Five years have been good to this beer. Lovely pour, plummy and gently spiced nose. No sign of oxidation and the flavor integration is superb. An excellent Christmas Belgian strong.

Very smooth compared to the high percentage. Amounts of spice, brown ale notes, fruits and a wish for more of this bottle.

27.09.2008, 0,75l Bottle. BB 09.08.2010. The colour is dark brown, maybe a little clody. Aroma is fruit and malt. The beer is a little to lively carbonated. Body is full and the beer is rich. The strong alcohol gives the beer a warm atertaste.
