Bottled: Burgundy coloured. Clear. Fluffy beige head. Spices, sweets and fruits in the aroma. Some caramel, spices and malt in the flavour. Ends on sweet and malty note. Is thin to medium bodied. Nothing to run for.

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.

75cl bottle. Pours a dark brownish color with a light brownish head. Aroma filled with malt and candi-sugar and barley. Taste comes with dark fruits (cherry, prunes or raisins) spices, possible cinamon and coriander. Beer is very well balanced and really reminds us of the festive times of the end of the year during the cold season. Beer gains a lot of lavors as it warms up, a little roasted towards the end.
