Nov 7, 2009
(Bottled, 0.75l) Clear, very dark reddish brown with a smallish, firm and lasting, tanned head. Strongly aromatic nose with lots of citrus and pine, dark fruit, coriander, and a touch of alcohol. Flavor is strongly aromatic-hoppy with citrus, pine, slightly harsh soapiness, with Xmasy spiciness clearly evident. Dry, spicy finish is not very bitter. Evident, but not disturbing alcohol. Medium to full body with lowish, soft carbonation. Not a very Belgian in style, with yeastiness replaced by strong aroma hops, and body slightly thin for the style and ABV. Good, but needs a couple years in the cellar, IMO.

Nov 28, 2009 Sweet, belgish aroma with citrus fruits, oranges and maybe mango and pineapple. Some sweet chocolate also. Sweet, fruity, a bit belgish and bw-alike malty taste. Palate is quite smooth and warming.

Nov 17, 2009 0.75 l bottle from Alko. Dark slightly hazy reddish brown color. The aromas of citrusy-piney hops, chocolate, nuts, warming alchol and hint of raisins. Bittersweet flavor with citrusy-piney hops, chocolate, nuts and raisins. The finish is long, hoppy, slightly spicy and slighlty yeasty. Full bodied and very warming palate with hop resins in the finish. Nice balance between chocolate and american hops. Belgian and spice character is not obvious, but I think it makes this better.

Nov 12, 2009 Tap @ Ørsted Ølbar, Cph.
Pours clear deep red with a small, creamy, white head. Fine lacing. Aroma is quite hoppy, sweet, Nelson Sauvin?, coriander, light cinnamon and fresh-cut grass. Some yeasty notes of dried fruits as well. Medium carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is quite weird, malty sweet, quite a lot of fresh hoppiness and light spiciness. Some chocolate, yeast, sap, pine. Weird and unbalanced, but still kinda attractive.
