Jan 2, 2007 Bottle at Brugs Beertje,Bruges, Belgium
Brown, muddy body. Off-white, frothy head. Aroma of liquor, malts (strong: molasses, coffee) and some alcohol. Complex aroma! Moderately sweet, moderately bitter flavour. Ok complexity but somewhat out of balance (somewhat too sweet for me). Nice beer though.

Dec 23, 2006 Dark red with a small head which quickly fades to a slight haze. Very sweet in aroma and taste, but full and round with lots of alcohol. Not very balanced, though. Thick and cloying mouthfeel. A real heavy christmas ale, pretty enjoyable.

Dec 22, 2006 Draft at Capital Ale House. Medium to dark amber, OK head. Big aroma of dark fruits, plums and mixed berries, with a bit of rosewater perfume as well. The flavor was similar, initial sweet fruit flavors that matched the nose, finishing with a perfume laced hit of alcohol. Really liked this.

Dec 13, 2006 From a stubby 11.2 oz bottle with a short description on the front label, no freshness date.
Poured a golden hued amber with a frothy, rocky head, good retention, settled into a sudsy, small amount of laced sticking.
Aromas of fruity yeast and candied sugar, a raisin fruitiness, coriander and soft spices, a toffee maltiness that mingles with a medicinal alcohol.
Good carbonation and a crisp, carbonated smooth light bodied mouthfeel.
Tastes of raisins and berries, traces of candied sugar, a subtle tart orange, a soft grains of paradise spiciness, a little licorice and herbal flavor, sweet bready malts, a light alcohol flavor towards the end and a dryish yeasty, malty finish.
Not a bad strong ale, a nice change of pace, even at 11% ABV, an easy quaffability, worth trying.

Dec 13, 2006 Bottle (from Bitter Virtue). Slightly hazy. Sweet malts fruity caramelised sugar. Some alcohol showing. Odd earthy yeast flavours in mouth. On the whole too sweet for me.
