(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.

Bottle, pours hazy, dark brown/ruby with a medium sized beige head. Nose with lots of burned malt and fruits. Flavour of figs, brown sugar and molasses. Slightly hoppy finish. Medium to full bodied. An ejoyable christmas beer.

Bottle. Brownish / amber pour with lots of malt particles and a thin off-white head. Very sweet aroma; candy sugar, raisens, lightly spiced and nutty. The palate is creamy. Flavor is a little odd, lots of spices up front, with dark fruit, and malt; then it sort of transforms into a spicy juice-like substance with some hops and cinnamon. Lots of flavors, but they don’t work well together and provide for an odd tasting experience.

Poured a reddish brown color with a medium tan head that receded very quickly. The aroma was of dark malts, caramel, belgian spice, and dark fruits. The dark fruits come forward first then the spices and malts mix in to give a semi sweet taste. The alcohol is masked nicely. This has a medium mouthfeel with a creamy texture that finished with some spices and a little hop bite. Pretty good for a christmas beer.

Pours cloudy dark bronze, with a head of large bubbles that fades very fast. Aroma is big alcohol upfront, with dark fruits and some candi sugar and malt backing it up. Body is suitable medium to thin for a Belgian beer. Flavor is very fruity, sweet malt, with some balancing hops, an d a bit of sharpness from the alcohol. Finish is sweet but not heavy or cloying.

Bottle. Has the floral accents that I enjoy in the Belgian beers. I can also taste a bit of the alcohol, which I also enjoy. I’d buy this beer again.

Bottle: Pours a hazy amber/brown with a large tan head that quickly fades to a thinner head with a crown. Spicy nose that is hard to pinpoint. The taste is spice driven with some malt. I get some nutmeg, coriander and white pepper. The mouth feel is lighter and more astringent than I expected but I don’t get a strong alcohol presence. This is a nice beer overall but I would like to see more body and complexity.
