bottiglia 33 cl, ed. 2015, schiuma fine cappuccino persistente, color marrone intenso con riflessi mogano, al naso subito liquore vino Porto poi esteri frutta matura uvetta sotto spirito leggero caffè cacao malto tostato zucchero di canna e una punta di anice, in bocca è vellutata e riscalda malto tostato frutta candita leggero liquirizia spezie leggero banana, corpo strutturato, l'alcool si sente ma ci vuole, carbonazione leggera, Dolce ma non stucchevole con amaro accentato lungo nel finale. Visto gli anni di invecchiamento risulta più secca ed alcolica ma decisamente ottima e ti riporta subito alle feste. Perfetta birra di Natale. c. Beer-shop.it 28.12.21

Bottle at home. Three year old. Has a dark brown colour with a beige head. Sweet aroma of caramel, fudge, caramel chocolate (toffifee), diacetyl, alcohol, dates and wood. Strange bitter woody flavour with cloves, weeds, dandelion and raisins. Some diacetyl. Has a slick mouth feel, full-bodied and a medium bitterness. Very unbalanced overall. Sweet aroma and a odd flavour. Rich though. Maybe a bad bottle gone worse over the years.

Bottle from the Boise Co-op. Normal pour, dark brown with small foamy head. Aroma is roadted malts, Belgian yeast and prunes. Taste brings some fruitcake notes, holiday spice , gentle warmth. At this specific time (evening on Christmas day), its perfecto

Big fizzy-creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry mineraly, weeds, grass, hay, bark, paper, minerals, yeast, toast, candi sugar, hints of sour coffee. Taste is harsh mineraly, weeds, metal tank, bark, soil, bloodlike minerals, grass, alcohol, sour coffee, paper, candi sugar, burnt toast. Medium to longlasting bitterness, harsh metallic mouthfeel. Crap!

Taster at Mikkeller Seoul. Quite dark, with little for the nose. Flavour is all caramel and orange, really nice.

Ich muss zugeben, dass ich dieses Bier an einem verregneten Juli-Abend genossen habe. Dennoch hat es mir ganz gut gemundet, wenngleich es auch nichts besonderes darstellt -ein Belgian Strong Ale halt. Das steht drauf und wird auch eingehalten, aber der hohe Alkoholgehalt und die hervorstechende Süße behindern ein bisschen die anderen Aromen. Der dänische Braumeister hat hier übrigens wieder einmal in einer belgischen Brauerei gebraut, was dem Bier sicher nicht geschadet hat.
