Mar 9, 2004 3 years old, corked bottle
Dark amber color; giant creamy head. Malty aroma, barleywine-like, with spices (white pepper) and bitter oranges. Good malt, quite sweet, with a strong liquorice character. A real Christmas beer; ends less sweet (the age…).

Feb 23, 2003 Ah, the beauty of a well made “Belgian”, tall dark and handsome setting in the triple glass, WOW what a treat for the eyes, the nose, and oh yes the palate.
Deep ruby red on the pour with a bountiful head, frothy in its texture, light tan in color and as it dissipates, it leaves a silky sheet of lace to conceal the glass. The aroma of over ripe plums, sweet malts, caramel, fresh and clean a real treat for the schnozzle. Sweet at the front, top is lean in feel; finish is astringent and the hops delicate in their spicy bite, a real palate pleasing beer.

Dec 18, 2007 (Bottled@Kerstbierfestival 2007, Essen) Hazy red-dark amber with a smallish, tanned and creamy head. Aroma of sweetish malt, xmas spices, anise, and some rye pudding. Rye-malty, dried-fruity flavor with anise and orange-peel. Medium body, medium-carbonated. A bit sweet and grainy, and lacking complexity - but ok.
