Generous amounts of carbonation visible. Spicy and fruity aroma, belgian yeast, nutmeg, and maybe a little cinnamon. Flavor features alot of yeast with moderate spicing, quite fruity and refreshing. Very long dry earthy finish with light hoppiness. Lighter bodied with very lively carbonation on the tongue. A very nice Christmas seasonal, not overly spiced. No hint at all that this is a 9% abv beer. jonsiii (157), Fredericia, Denmark
