Jul 13, 2005 Every aspect of this holiday Belgian Winter Ale is admirable. Attratcive rusty-amber color under a durable tan head. Luscious aromas of caramel, spices and dark dried fruits. Silky smooth mouthfeel. A clean, but satisfying palate of sweet cinnamon rolls, apricot, fig and caramel malts. That being said, there is also a certain washed-out whimpiness to this 10% ale that just doesn’t seem to hit you between the eyes like other Belgians of its genre. Maybe just a bit too delicate?

Dec 25, 2001 Similiar palate to Hapkin; Explosive and dry. Winey, bubblegum aroma. Fruity, light body, and some subtle bitterness. A lot of fun this was.
