Pours a dark, murky brown with lots of sediment. Very light head. Aroma is very bready Thought it was a "christmas" ale ("noel") but not as spicy as I’d expected. Other than that, pretty good example of a belgium ale. Malty, yeasty, high abv is slightly noticeable.

Dec 5, 2008 On tap at The Red in Santa Cruz. More amber than dark. Tan dense head leaves a ton of lacing. Aromas of orange peel, phenols, and a nice toffee base. Mushy apricot, candi sugar, big orange peel, and earthy and spicy notes make up the flavor profile. Mouthfeel is a little flat but that could just be the tap. Pretty nice beer.

Dec 3, 2008 750ml bottle. Poured a cloudy copper with a thin off white head. Nose was spicy, malty, with belgian yeasts. Fairly smooth with a light alcohol bite. Some nice spice notes, but on the mellow/simple side. Finish was spicy.

Nov 28, 2008 Pours a translucent copper orange with a two finger creamy off white/tan head. The nose is fruity, earthy, Belgian/yeasty, rummy, light alcohol, some raisin. The flavor is a bit rummy, earthy, some yeast character, estery, warm alcohol, a bit spicy, some fruity character, leaves something wanting. . The palate has a full and lively carbonation and finishes warm.
