24/IV/2012 - 33cl bottle @ Klaas' place - BB: III/12 (2012-401) Thanks to Klaas for sharing the beer!
Note: GUSHER ALERT!
Pretty cloudy muddy red brown beer, no head, some bit and smaller chunks floating around. Aroma: little sweet, some spices, chocolate, sour berries. MF: low carbon, medium to full body. Taste: pretty sweet start, fruity touches, sweet malts, little meaty. Aftertaste: ripe to rotten fruits, red berries, some dark chocolate. In all, not quite as bad as I had suspected.

Bottle at 6.8% from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa, CA. Pours very hazy dark copper with small dark chunks. Frothy beige head. There’s an extremely strong evergreen, perhaps spruce, aroma. Full bodied and very frothy. There’s a sour component, lots of fruit, and still evergreen. Yeast/spice. Probably more stuff, but it’s all complexly intermingled. Certainly more dry than not. Very tasty, if a bit challenging.

Bottle. A hazy, amber beer topped by a minimal-sized off-white head. Spiced, sugary nose with sourish hints. Yeasty, sourish and slightly lemony flavor with a good dash of white sugar. Medium body. Sweet finish. Might be off, definately not a very succesful one, both too sweet and too sourish. 100115

Bottle at Maxs. Spicy. Lots of cinnamon and orange peel. Very Belgian thick yeasty tones. Brown-orange color. Cinnamon and nutmeg are in your face, but somehow balance out. Intensely spiced Belgian Xmas beer.
