The Christmas beer from this brewery, a cloudy blonde ale with an aroma mostly dominated by cinnamon, next to aniseed, dried fruits, gingerbread, cake, soft and fluffy mouthfeel, sweet spicy taste very much reminiscent of ’speculoos’ and apparently intended as such, some lemony sourishness too. Very weird but not unpleasant. I read somewhere this is to be "ferrated", i.e. warmed up with a red-hot fireplace poker, which causes the excess of sugars to caramellize and stick to the poker so that the beer becomes less sweet and more balanced (as well as partially heated). Too bad I have no fireplace to try this, but it sounds attractive, on a cold winter evening. Perhaps the same effect can be achieved by placing this under a grill or something... Points for originality, in any case.

Botle. Very spicy aroma. Light yellow colour. Small white head. Cinnamon flavour.

White head, fast gone; completely light-gold, clear. Nose of gingerbread and alcohol. Cinnamon, allspice, ginger, "Lierse Vlaaikens" (=Belgian regional spiced patisserie speciality). Sweet taste, gingerbread, cinnamon². Unbelievable flavours, but "slightly over the top". Light mouthfeel, but all the same well-bodied. It's over the top, but in an enthusiastic way -bit like liquid speculoos. Not really bad, neither - ought to be tried.
