0.75 l bottle thanks to Lukica, unclear amber, small off-white head. Aroma is cherry, spice such as black pepper, anise, some ethanol, hint of molasses. Sweet, candy, toffee and spice. Some warmth, alcohol hidden in the flavour. Smooth, lacks richness and complexity, anise prevails in the rather sweet finish.

750 ml bottle. Sampled Dec 2025. Pours a deep dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, dark fruit, toffee, a bit of minerals, a bit of Christmas spice and toasty, almost bready malts. Flavors of sweet dark fruit, Christmas cake, a bit of additional Christmas spice and bready malts. Fruitier and sweeter than previous years. Excellent.

Bottle 2002, shared after some painting exercises. Coka cola brown. Prune, dates, marzipan. Surprisingly still sweet. This is very nice to drink. I like it.

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, crosta di panettone, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia rossa, mandarino, mela, frutta passita, mandorla fresca, ciliegia e chiodi di garofano.

Really a typical belgian strong. Lots of ripe fruit, big maltiness, yeasty and bready, the crarbonation was a little over the top, and a touch of a metallic finish. Quite refrsshing though, and a little too easy drinking for the alcohol content. Solid beer.

Pours a deep dark brown with a creamy head. Spicy aroma of dark malts, bread, caramel, roasted nuts, some anise and many more spices. Medium sweetness and lively carbonation. Pretty tasty winter brew.
