Bottled. A deep red beer with a long lasting brown head. The aroma is powerful with a strong spicy note, cloves and cinnamon amonst others, but also with strong notes of brown sugar, fruit both fresh and over ripe, oranges, peaches, as well as notes of cherries and raisins. The flavor is also very powerful with strong notes of brown sugar, caramel, a complex spice combination, including coriander, cloves, and cinnamon, and strong notes of fruits; fresh peaches and oranges, and dried apricot, prunes, and raisins. And the mouthfeel is very filling. The alcohol is only felt until You swallow, where it leaves a slight burn in the throat.

(Bottle 150 cl) Very hazy, dark amber with loads of floating impurities. Light off-white head. Lovely caramelly, malty nose. Complex, vinous and very soft in the malt with lots of dried fruit notes. A bit flat but very delicate nonetheless. 120805

From 1½ L bottle, Kerstbierfestival 2007 in Essen/Belgium. Pours deep brown and still golden with a light orange lacing head. Aroma is caramel malty with a nice light spice note. Flavour is mild spiced with a solid malt flavour. Lovely yeasty note lingering in between the malt flavours. Very mild note of dried fruit into the finish. Nice solid caramel malt note lingering far into the finish as well.

Bottled. Cloudy amber, small head. Dryish and almondy upfront, sweeter in the finish. Rich in flavour, lighter in mouthfeel then expected. Lightly yeasty, some caramel, very complex and well balanced.
