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 21, 2009 Aromatic winey belgian ale smell in this seasonal brew. It has a clear amber red ale appearance. The big winter boozy malty flavor is delicious in the Belgian traditional flavor.

Dec 16, 2008 On tap at the Happy Gnome. Pours a nice amber color. The nose is rather spicy; cinnamon, nutmeg and a touch of cloves. Wonderful mouth feel with moderate carbonation, With a nice warming finish to holiday spice.

Dec 13, 2001 Not alot of dif between this and the Tremmens, to my taste. I love it yes. And an added kick. A bit spicier than the Tremmens, with that same clean finish.

Dec 25, 2006 I had the last bottle in a Belgian place up here. The nose had some fruit and spice in it, and the flavor was full of something in between grapefruit and sour grapes. It also had plenty of spice, with a body not unlike an oktoberfest. I couldn’t detect the alcohol in it at all, it was quite wonderful.

Oct 1, 2009 2005 corked and caged. Semi hazy, particulate suspended burnt orange. Nose is fantastic deep fruity, with no traces of alcohol. Flavors of light smoke, anise, oak, vanilla, and a plethera of other flavors. Truly a great brew.

Dec 17, 2008 Initital metallic taste followed by a high-quality spicy ale like only the Belgians can do. Nice alcohol burn for those who dig it. This stuff is on par with Bernardus 8.
