Re-rate 4-4-2020. Robijn kleurig bier met schuim. Mogelijk dat het recept gewijzigd is want ik herken mijn eerdere beoordeling in het geheel niet. Smaak is warm en krachtig, zoals van een dergelijk bier verwacht mag worden, met iets van anijs, karamel en kandij. Gewoon een goed en degelijk bier.

9% a dark brown pour with a thick beige head. The aroma was a bready, sweet, yeasty malt goodness. Wow, a sweet malty, caramel, plums, bready, full bodied tasty beer. I am quite impressed, this much flavor for 6 bucks is a good value. I am kind of surprised how much I liked this, it has layers of flavor but is mellow & is great to sip from a snifter.

A very dark brown beer with an almost big and blond head. The nose of dark fruits, prune, some spices, hint of earthy sourness and anise. Taste is smooth, dark fruits, prune, anise, some spices that are more dominating in the end. Almost full bodied, smooth carbonation, pleasant to drink. Nöel is high-quality Abbaye des Rocs beer, dark fruits in the smooth package.

330ml bottle from Appellation Wines, Dalry. Pours clear dark brown with a small white head. Aromas of prune and booze at first, moving on to more complex spice aromas, and more dark stone fruit, hints of bubblegum. Sweet taste, but a clean finish.

SAQ private import with a best before date 19/10/2014. Pours an amber colour with loads of floaties all around. The head is beige, creamy, long lasting and gives out patchy, thick lacing. At first, aromas of mild dark fruits, but with time, the Belgian Ale yeast comes out blending with the roasted malts with hints of chocolate and vanilla. The taste shows the roasted malt very lightly. Started sweet at first with some fruity malts. A darker Belgian ale that is far from the North American Christmas beer, with cinnamon and other spices. Decent brew, but not my thing.

Swirtne piwo, wspaniale wyglada jest ciemne i prawie nieprzezroczyste. To jeden z moich ulubionych browarow. Piana ladna moze nie za wielka ale trzyma sie do konca. Jakby grand cru. Bo wyrob przedni, wytrawnosc winna jest spora lekka kwasowosc i octowosc, na samym poczatku nieco slodyczy ale potem tego w smaku nie ma. Przyprawowe, gozdziki, cynamon lub tego typu rzeczy. Bardzo polecam nie tylko na swieta.
