Bottle, april 08. Turbid brown/ dark copper color with a medium, bubbly, slightly creamy beige head. Some raisins on the aroma, a slight touch of ripe bananas. Spicy/ toffee flavor with some slight vanilla reminiscenses. Slight alcohol burn. Medium to light palate, fizzy carbonatation hides a rather dry finnish. Coating sensation. Spicy but rather short aftertaste. Ok, rather plain light dubbel.

Jul 13, 2008 A lightly hazed brown ale with a thick off white head. Smell of caramel, with musty notes, and dark fruits, like stewed prunes, light yeasty notes. In mouth, a clean crisp nutty roasted nuts malts, burned caramel, with light herbal notes, some light licorice. Considering its lower alcohol content, this one is rich and generous. Bieropholie imports, BB 28/02/10.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle, 330 ml at t’Velootje, Ghent. Brown to amber with white head. Lots of christmas pudding fruits, raisin, prunes and caramel all in a yeasty, bready body. Malt loaf fruitiness, rich and perhaps a little overpowering.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle (330ml). Via trade with glouglouburp - thanks again, Dany!. Slightly hazy deep amber pour with an average very lively fizzy beige head. Smells like so many decent Belgian brune ales - spicy, yeasty, roast caramel malt - this one, perhaps owing to the WinterBier name, seems a bit more Christmas pudding-like, sans the candied fruit. The taste follows, plenty of low-level dry peppery yeast, fruity, malty, hints of raisin and blush wine - reminds me of a lighter Chimay Blue. Average body, a little dry and vinous on the palate, medium length finish where the dry yeast comes out a bit --- solid drinker, nothing super special.
