Bottle thanks to Glouglouburp!
Hazy mahogany, fluffy beige head. Nutty nose reminiscent of Westy 8 but for less depth and the additional pepper and light orange. Sweet body of chocolate, nut, and hints of citrus and yeast. Dry finish, overly-carbonated but with a very refined and subtle nut finish emerging behind the orange. Though nothing stands out, very enjoyable combination of elements.

Light brown coloured beer with a huge white head and no carbonation. A spicy aroma. Medium wattery palate with some malty touches. Finish is sweet with a real sugar ending mixed with some spices.

Spicy aroma with licorice, cloves, citrus. Pours a clear amber- brown with tan head. Dominant spice with licorice and fruity sweetness.

Poured out a very clear light mahogany with a thin skiff of white bubbles hanging out. The aroma on the mellow side but that isn’t to say that what I have here isn’t pleasant. An interesting mix of mulled spices, cinnamon, coriander, cloves, candied orange peels, allspice. The allspice is the dominant contributor... man, there is a lot of it. Dark sweet fruits and a very late caramel malt. I love this aroma! The taste is similar to the aroma. Immediate allspice and cloves that never leave the mouth until finally fading into a lengthy aftertaste. More candy, the zing of peppermint without the flavour, cinnamon, red ripe berries, stiff raisin, I keep thinking chocolate (but it seems odd here although I won’t rule it out), floral breath, licorice (finally!). Hell, this beer is the shit! Every sip snaps my taste buds to attention. The mouth feel is thick with lots of different things loitering during different sips. Great after taste. No hint of 9% at all. This is an exceptional brew with no flaws except for the fact that I cannot buy it here. Slides in to my top beers with class and ease.

Deep rich mahogany red color, luxurious creamy tan head. Spicy, malty aroma, coriander, bubblegum, cloves, allspice? Piquant spice flavor on a round malt base. Medium carbonation keeps it from feeling too heavy. More enjoyable and interesting than Ommegang’s take.

Bottle thanks to Fred82 - Spicy malt nose, taste is much the same. Somewhat full palate that is very pleasing. A little fruit taste lingers in your mouth makes the experience very pleasant.

Bottle thanks to Dakine and Dany. Pours a very deep, almost brown, clear amber with super thick tan head. Head is really creamy and leaves lots of lacing. Aroma is very sweet with tart and dried fruit, lots of spice, yeast, and clove. Flavor matches well and improves as temperature rises. First half of glass made me think I wasn’t enjoying it, last half was very nice. It definitely comes together nicely and the fruity nature really sets it apart. Mouthfeel is slightly slick and heavy bodied.
