Dec 23, 2007 Christmas! A great time for winter beers. Pours brown with a tan head. Nose of fruit, malts, and some hops. Taste of spice, vanilla, malts, and alcohol. Hot edge takes away from the complexity of this beer.

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle poured cranberry red with a large billowy white head. Aromas of malt, sweet caramel, and raisins fill the nose. The palate is creamy and the carbonation is good Flavors of sweet malt and Belgian spices fill my mouth with a nice peppery finish Great bottle art and this thing hides the alcohol well what more could ask for in a Christmas offering

Dec 22, 2007 Great aroma and a nice pour with a small head. A nice milky appearance. The flavor is malty with a nice smooth finish. A very enjoyable Belgian seasonal!

Dec 22, 2007 Bottle: Pours a deep rusty color with a fading, fizzy tan head. Soft and sweet fruity aroma. Plummy, raisiny and with a big alcohol presence. There’s also a mild herbal note peeking through. Flavor has an apparent alcohol bite. Peppery ethanol, and sweet Belgian malts. Has some sweet raisin notes as well, but that’s about it. Simple and alcohol dominated. A bit of a let down.

Dark copper color and a subtle hint of red. smell was first prunes then honey and cherries. thick on the palate - the glare off the top of the glass was textured. taste was cherries and toast. thick malty aftertaste.

Dec 20, 2007 (Tap) Pours a hazy reddish brown color with almost no head. Light dusty aroma includes some spice... maybe clove or allspice... and light hops. Interesting taste incorporates the spice and some vanilla notes with dark fruit as well. I caught some apple notes, yeast notes, and lots of candy sugar as well. Above average mouthfeel with fine carbonation. I couldn’t drink this on a daily basis, but I think it’s an exceptional beer overall.
