Hazy brown colour. Sweet candy aroma. Scents of dried cherries, apricots, etc come through. Flavour is similarly sweet with a degree of spiciness coming through.

Bottle that I picked up at Dranken Geers, Oostakker, Nr Gent, 31-10-09 consumed 09-12-09 Pours dark, dark murky brown with a small cappucino coloured and shaped head, this soon shrunk to a leave a slight film of beige across the top. Sweet mollassess on the nose with a slight twang and a little yeast. This is a lovely simple beer, soft, nice warmth from the alcohol at the back of the mouth, lovely dark sugars, good stuff.

Dark brown with large head. Malty-sweet, raisins, notes of maple syrup (yes, it’s sweet!?!), light acidity. Low carbonation in mine! IMO remniscent of Kasteel Donker.

Bottle. Dark amber to copper colour with a lot of sediment. Good rye bread aroma with some alcohol. Dried fruit, alcohol, rye bread and spices in a harmonious blend. quite full-bodied. A nice Christmas treat.

A deep red beer with lots of sediment floating around under a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries, fruit, wood, and malt. The flavor is seet malty with primary notes of berries, but also lighter notes of wood towards the end - which makes the end dry. The alcohol leaves a slight burn behind.

Dark brown, reddish shine; grey-brown head irregular. Nice cypress smell, on tap of dark malts, and a soy-sauce (ketjap)aroma. Liquorice, (very) sweet stout-like. OK, but maybe just a bit one-dimensional. Very carbonated, at the verge of fizzy. Full-bodied, but sweetness makes it taste thinner than it is. Great nose, sorry about the palate. I do not think it's Proef who went wrong - rather the commissioners.

Bottle Kerstbierfestival 2007: Poured a copper color with a white head. The aroma is malts, nuts, and spice. Taste is sweet and warm fruit and spice, finishes dry with a alcohol tingle.
