Not hugely impressed by this. Indelicately sweet. Mega malt on the nose and stuffy tropical fruit in the mouth. Not Christmassy at all.

Enjoyed via draft in a white wine glass. The beer pours a dark amber to medium brown color, with some lighter highlights; and a small just off-white head. The nose is a combination of the classic notes of Delirium Tremens, grain, fruit, slight acidity, and some of the darker, hardier notes of holiday beers. The palate again features a fundamental background of Delirium Tremens, followed by notes of prunes, raisons, and a subtle but pleasant Munich/Special B/CaraMunich malt character. The finish is estery, but not overly so; and is buttressed by a gentle semi-dry spicy note. Very drinkable and nicely warming on a cool afternoon.

Pours murky brown with a medium head of tan bubbles. Aroma is dates, raisin and alcohol. Mouth feel is thick, with just enough carbonation to prevent stickiness. Flavor is robust and sweet with lots of dark fruit flavors, some spice and just a hint of alcohol. This is a remarkable beer.

Some funky Belgian aromas. Golden liquer coloration. Nice viscous mouthfeel. Very smooth. Alcohol is masked. Warms you up very nicely.
