Black color with a tall, thick and creamy head. Damn baby, it looks beautiful! Wonderful aroma of bread and spice with a hit of alcohol. The taste is very similar, expounding on the bread. There is a very interesting peppery finish that is remincient of tobacco. This must be a house flavor as it seems to show up in every other Gouden I’ve had. The alcohol is ridiculously well hidding. Damn fine beer!

Sep 23, 2008 Pours a dark brown. The nose is nutmeg, cinnamon and banana. Comes across the palate with a a little more than necessary carbonation, with strong notes of cinnamon and banana; very malty. Finishes with almost a nutmeg, and banana that lingers.

Sep 20, 2008 Shit yeah a really nice picturesque bottle lable.Beautiful bottle label o. Gosh I’d like to enjoy a few 750mls of this in front of the fire place with the proverbial X-mas sweaters- at least untill I pass out and burn the crib down : Its a beer that makes you play Christmas music in late september: A beer with a crap load of dried fruit profile.from the yeast ? .dry backdrop. I enjoyed the spices. Any christmas ale worth their stuff needs spices. Nutty multiness moves around.Classy :)

Sep 17, 2008 Bottle (in NZ), pours a deep reddish brown with a filmy head. A christmas spice hop aroma, with cakey malt, caramal, banana, currants, licorice, and rum. A full malty palate, sugary, with caramal malt with those christmas flavours picked up in the aroma. The finish is firey and spicy.
