Bottle at home, picked this up from Dranken Geers, near Gent, Belgium 03-03-08, drank 09-03-08 Pours mid amber colour with a white head, head sticks to glass on way down. Some yeast and spices on nose, nothing here reminds me much of Christmas I’m afraid, its very ordinary.

Bottle, 33 cl. (Bought @ Geers) Amber color, and large creamy off-white head. Aroma fruits (pears ?), malts. Medium body. Taste is great. Start sweet, well-balanced, malts, bit alcohol touch. Bit spice, and dry end. Good !
