Apr 21, 2008 750 ml corked and caged. Pours a dark orange red with a large, long lasting carbonated head. Aroma of brown sugar and caramel noted. Yeast taste noted with some spiciness as well. Alcohol was there but just a slight hint of it. Well balanced and smooth going down. Another great brew from the Grinning Monk.

Apr 1, 2008 Pours a rich ruby brown with 3 fingers of off white head. Aroma of spices, caramel, yeast and fruit. Flavors of fruit, spices, yeast and malt. On a lot of these christmas beers the spices are overdone, but this one is very well put together. Quite delicious stuff, one of the better seasonal belgians i’ve had. Yum!

Mar 22, 2008 Cork had a nice pop...color is ruby brown...big head of amber bubbles. Caramel and spice aroma. Big flavor with that distinctively smooth St. Bernardus yeast effect, yet it also has flavors of rich dark malts, funky tart tropical fruit, bitter fruit rind, burnt toffee, black pepper, alcohol, slight cinnamon...yet all in all is quite tasty.

Mar 12, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, mabel, jerc & mds - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Slightly hazy orange-amber with a small off-white head. Mice malt and spice aroma, with some cherry, dark sugar and yeast - yummy! Soft mouthfeel. Flavour of sour fruit, sweet malt, spices (clove, cinnamon), and faint yeast in the moderately bittter finish. Hides that 10% very well. Nice!
