UPDATED: MAY 4, 2024 I guess May 4 is time to drink my Christmas beer. Poured dark chestnut amber body and full foam off-white top that could be scooped away with a paddle. Aroma of spices, dried fruits, and yeast. Medium sweet to strongly bitter; in fact overall it's the long bitter finish that stays with me as I was expecting it to be hot in alcohol terms but otherwise sweet and spicy. Certainly a classic but one I am happy to have once a year.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2024 Bevuta in bottiglia. Bel colore ambrato scuro. Schiuma persistente. Buoni aromi. Corposa. Leggero dolce finale.

UPDATED: APR 24, 2024 Stor smag af malten og fine noter af mørke frugter, fin klassiker. .

UPDATED: JAN 15, 2024 Hazy brown colour, beige foam. Nose of sweet malts, caramel, a bit spicy and herbal. Sweet, malty, warming finish. Not a bad Delirium variant.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2024 Rich aroma of toffee and dark fruits. Pours with a brown/bronze hue and frothy light brown head. Sweet malt flavour with notes of caramel, spice, dark fruit and brown sugar. Slick texture and full bodied. Sweet finish with lots of alcohol warming.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2024 Bottle bought by Silke for Jacob in ABQ during Xmas 23, of which I managed to sneak a little out. Could of sworn I‘d rated this. Aroma full of brown sugar, cloves, berries. Taste is bittersweet, full of spice, brown sugar and yeasty dark bread. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Good.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2023 On tap at Brew’d Craft Pub, pours a clear copper amber with a small off-white head. Aroma has plenty of toasted chestnuts, toasted caramel, Belgian yeast, and bready malt. Flavour has a very nice spicy Belgian yeast character, with toasted chestnuts, toasted caramel, candi sugar, and dry bready malt. Spicy, complex and well-balanced, finishing dry and spicy. Very good.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2023 16.9 oz bottle from The Beer Store. Pours a clear amber/mahogany color with a thick beige head. Decent lace. Sweet aroma of caramel, dark candied fruits, misc spice, all with a nice Belgian yeast background. Sweet with bit of alcohol bit. Bubbly on the tongue. Delish!!

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2023 Oklar mörk mahogny med mkt tjockt beige skum. Doftar lite fruktigt och kryddigt, muscovadosocker, torkad frukt och svamp. Smaken fyllig, lite söt, kola och knäck, något besk. Eftersmaken lång med söta, kryddiga toner av torkad frukt, nejlika, svamp och toffé, beska på slutet.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2023 Amber color, small beige head. Aromas of malt, caramel, dried fruit, spices and alcohol. Taste of malt, alcohol, dried fruit, spices and caramel. Belgian classic. Maybe lacks some complexity, but only maybe. Stron carbonation. Just lovely.
