Bottle. Hazy amber brown with an off-white foam. Aromas are berries and bubblegum with yeast and spices. Lots of alcohol with some light plummines. Flavours are pink grapefruit with some floral notes. Brown sugar sweetness with dark treacle toffee. Woody and dry with autumn fruit and lots of alcohol. I almost loved it.

Its 11% and Belgian .If this were a roller coaster i’m first in line ,even if i see a bunch of drinkers vomiting and stumbling after the ride...burnt sugars..burnt caramel and estery fruit in the smells...A very rich malty drink. Candy sugar..coconut. Spicy and boozy and warming and yes festive. I’m starting to dig this1.
