Happy Santa Claus on the label, devilish beer inside...Dark ruby body with a tan, superb and delicious head. Complex aroma with some wild fruits, dried plum, coffe and caramel, some spicy perfume like clove and vanilla. Thick body, oily texture, sweet candy sugar in the taste with a lot of fruitiness, dark chocolate and coffee. Strong character with a freaky santa:)

Pours clear deep copper heading toward amber with tan head. The aroma is rich with big dark fruity ester goodness with figs, prunes, dried apples and followed by smooth blended spices. The taste is much the same with full rich dark fruity notes such as figs, prunes, dried apples and sugar stewed raisins. It ends with assorted spices like cinnamon and other less discernable ones.

Bottle courtesy of Sebletitje. Thanks Sea Bass. Pours a clear amber with a small light tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is vinous with notes of dark fruit, caramel, and spicy yeast. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness and a slightly spicy finish. Good.
