Dec 28, 2008 Nice dark pour with a little froth, no real head. Taste is classic belgian yeast and malt, a nice xmas cake style spiciness and sweetness, with a warming alcohol finish. Very enjoyable, and the spice is pleasant.

Dec 28, 2008 750 ml bottle which was a Christmas gift from my friend Russell. Pours a slightly hazed reddish amber with a moderate off-white head that lasted through the first half of the glass and left partial lace. Pleasant aroma of malt, yeast, candi sugar, and dates. The flavor is again malt, yeast, candi sugar, and dates, but it is sweeter than the aroma and not as yeasty. Warming alcohol burn at the finish. There is a bit of fresh bread in the aftertaste several seconds after the swallow. Enjoyable.

Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Dec 27, 2008The aroma is of fruit, alcohol. yeast. The appearance is a dark red/brown, decent off-white head. The flavor is fruity, yeasty, bread-like. The finish is slightly bitter from both the hops and the spicy quality of this ale. The alcohol is well hidden, and the mouthfeel is medium. Decent holiday ale.

Dec 25, 2008 Pretty, deep rusty amber color, fair bit of carbonation. Aroma is heavily of malt and some spices, flavor is more of the same. Pleasant mouthfeel, well-hidden alcohol. Decent beer--not overly spectacular, but definitely drinkable.

Dec 24, 2008 malty, bright effervescence. sparkling cider. maple, light molasses, incredible light ale taste. abv is remarkably well hidden but the flavor is rather flat in contrast to the sparkling body. spicy dry finish. Like a malted Tremens.
