Our winter beer is a dark and heartwarming beer with a full pure, slightly sweet taste and long soft bittery aftertaste. The ingredients are: seven types of malt (including rolled oats), two types of Belgian hops, brewing water and yeast. This is the ideal beer to make a cold and chilly winter evening cosy.

33 cl. bottle poured in to a Tulip. Dark, amber colour with a medium sized lightly tanned head, that fades to a thin ring. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, chocolate, dark, dried fruits, coffee and nuts. Vague hints of booze. Taste is sweet. Full body with an oily texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes slightly dry with rich malts, toffee and dark fruits. Lovely winter warmer.

Flasche (33 cl, MHD: 12/17, einige Zeit gelagert). - Tiefstes Kastanienbraun, trüb. - In der Nase zart angebrannte Röstaromen, breit karamellige dunkle Malzsüße, Andeutung von dunkler Frucht. - Antrunk weich dunkelmalzig-karamelsüß mit schönen Mokka- und Bitterkakaoaromen. Kakaotypisch auch die milde Herbe und ganz zarte Säure, dazu Trockenpflaumen. Mild rezent, weich im Mund, zum Ende hin schön trocken. In Abgang und Nachtrunk schöne Mokkaaromen vor schwach erdigem Hintergrund. Hopfenherbe ist kaum vorhanden, wird aber auch nicht vermißt. - Sehr elegantes Winterbier mit feinen Röstaromen, dem die Lagerung anscheinend gut getan hat: der von anderen Bewertern beklagte Zucker hat sich in Aroma aufgelöst.

Draft at The Sovereign. Poured a very dark brown color, pretty opaque. Medium sized tan head. Aroma was dark roasted malts, dark fruits, vanilla, touch of raisins. Bitter chocolate, dark fruits, rich and creamy malt notes. Solid, rich roasted notes. This is delicious. Very solid.

330ml bottle, thanks to JefVerstraete. Pours dark with light roasted malts / liquorice aroma. Taste is smooth & liquoricey with cocoa and dark treacle notes emerging as it warms. Very pleasant.

From my haul back from Anchorage.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown close to black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated practically immediately. Light lacing stuck and slid nicely into the beer.
The smell had a sharp Belgian sugar that leads me on to a decent sweetness. Light spice (ginger) enters in as it warms.
The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors and combined to flavor with sharp spice (more so some nutmeg this time) in the aftertaste. Sweet sticky finish leads at the end.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sipping quality about it. The carbonation was good for the style and for me as there’s a nice sharpness but not overbearing.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Belgian Strong Ale that I would have again.
