| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 5, 2004 Nice beer if a little medicinal smelling. Serve slightly chilled and the flavor begains to take over. It tasted a bit more English then Belgian kind of like a citrusy Bass. I liked it quite a bit though hardly my fave. Just a quality beer with some nice touches. Unique plus the great bottle is beautifully ilustrated with notes on its history, ingredients and how to serve it. diabel (1372), Aarschot, Belgium

Lots of spiced in the aroma (seems like i""ve tasted coriander in all the beers tonight). Besides the coriander taste, this beer has a destinct taste of christmas. Theres cinnamon, green cardamom and cloves in the flavour. Has some sweetness in the palate.
