Commercial Description:
The dark side of the holidays, as treacherous as its paler sister. Brewed with Maris-Otter pale, Weyermann Munich, Castle Aromatic and roasted barley and black malts, with amber Belgian candi sugar added to the kettle. Bittered with German Northern Brewer, finished with Czech Saaz hops and fermented with Belgian Golden Ale yeast.

Drat. Pours a dark brune body with an off white head. Sweet chewy fruity body with hints of pear plum and light apple like esters. Toffee with some dark roast y coco notes.

Draft at Tangletown. Entered as Elysian Brewing Company in the distro info because RateBeer Safe Mode will not accept parentheses, even from the Instant Place Finder. OK. Pours a hazy medium amber, slightly coppery. Thin tan head, dense and moussy but shallow. Plenty of candi sugar on the nose, along with some caramelly malty goodness and just a tiny trailing hint of spice. Body is on the high side of medium, creamy, a bit sticky in spots. Dense and satisfying. Mid-palate shows plenty of caramel, brown bread, candi sugar, and just the faintest hint of darker holiday spicing, though that could be from malt accents. Mild, sticky-sweet finish of moderate duration.

Dark ripe fruit, plums, figs, chocolate, roasted malts, burnt sugars, yeasty esters. Pours almost black with beige foam and some lace.Flavors of Dark fruit, dark roasted malts, chocolate, candi sugars, burnt sugary seweetness, banana esters. Nice assertive carbonation. Lingering sweet sugary esters. Light earthy bitter/dryness creeps in too. Creamier in the body than most for style. Not overly sweet as the roast and black malts balance this well.

Tap at Blind Tiger: Rusty ruby pour with an off white head. Toasted amber malts in the aroma- some prune notes and toasted cocoa with a Belgian phenol presence. Toasted flavor- a cocoa note with a touch of alcohol and some dry fruity yeast phenolics. The back is toasted and rounds it out. Simple but solid.

This definitely has the Belgian strong/dubbel aroma. Flavor is pretty good overall. Quite sweet and a little fruity, a pretty tasty beer.
