Aroma is sirupy sweet, a little alcoholic with dried fruits. Tastes sweet and sour fruity with a hint of plum. Palate feels slippy and carbonated, still balanced. Aftertaste is sweet and alcohol is warming nicely.

Very dark red-brown beer with big beige head. Aroma is complex: lot of dried fruits, sweetness, anise and hint of alcohol. Flavour is also very complex: fruits, spice and sweetness that dried in the end and flavour changes slightly roasted and hoppiness. Full bodied beer with quite much of cacrbonation but still quite nice to drink. Complex, cristmas-like, sweet beer with lot of pleasant nuancees.
