Bottle at home. Aroma is herbs and spices, clove, speculaas, candy sugar, cinnamon, dark malt, liquorice. Flavour is rather sweet and cloying, a bit sticky. Body is medium. Spicebomb, not for me.

Many thanks for thias snow beer to Jacek Wigier (bottle from Beers of Europe). Piana piekna bezowa, trwala, barwa lekko mglista o rubinowym blysku i czerwonym przeswicie. w smaku niestety nie jest tak dobrze jak z wygladem, malo tresci, malo ciala, troche przyprawowe, kwaskowe i karmelowe zarazem, alko nie wyczuwalne ale poczucie jakby bylo wodniste, co rzadkie w przypadku niemal kazdej Belgii

9/2/2020. Bottle at TripelB, Worcester. 9% abv. Pours very dark brown with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of dried fruit, toffee, malt, dark plummy fruits, and a touch of chocolate. Medium sweetness with light to moderate bitterness. Towards being full bodied, oily/sticky texture, average carbonation. Jammy, plummy, raisin finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Seems to be 9% now. Pours hazy dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of stewed prunes, raisins and brown sugar. Light spice, cinnamon maybe. Taste is light sweet, spice, dark sugar and plum. A bit boozy, but festive!

Bruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitter, ietwat kruidig en licht zoet met iets van karamel, noten en heel licht rooksmaak.

16/11/2018 - 33cl bottle @ Botteltje, Ostend. Brown to amber coloured, quickly fading head. Nose is malts, ripe fruits, lots of spices. Taste is malts, ripe fruits, bit too much spices, bit roast, thin quad feel.

Fort Lapin’s winter ale, steinie bottle from ‘t Koelschip in Ostend. Papery lacing, thick and stable but irregular, pale yellowish white head on a very dark burgundy-hued hazy bronze beer, murky with sediment. Aroma of moldy old nut shells, medlar, coffee grounds, pear, nutmeg, cloves and even medicinal phenols, anise, roasted chicory, old brown bread, ‘jenever’, white pepper, ginger powder, damp earth, forest floor. Restrainedly sweetish onset, dried prune, pear and medlar notes with a deeper, infection-induced sourish undercurrent that stretches over the palate; medium carb, bready and toasty malt body, bitterish in the tail with this bitterness accentuated by a very high dosage of unpleasant, clove-, nutmeg- and eventually medicinally coloured phenols as well as actual spiciness (coriander seed, clove, ginger) that adds little of the normal ethereal retronasal qualities but a lot of rather harsh spicy wryness, which is then in turn made more wry by ‘jenever’-like booze; meanwhile a very earthy, ‘dirty’, powdery, muddy yeast effect forms. I get the intention here, this is another Scotch-based, heavily spiced, warming strong Belgian style Christmas beer, but refermentation clearly went not all too well here and I suspect some or other infection entered the bottle as well, with both factors creating a lot of wryness and dirtiness which this beer simply cannot support. Below par even for this brewery.

Bottle from LDW, Eke. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Very spicy, sourish, some cocoa and caramel. Bit messy winter beer.
