Pours dark brown & reddish with a lasting, small, foamy, tan head. Intense aroma of apple, raisin, dark chocolate, spices, brandy, chocolate, faint coffee. It tastes medium apple-like sweet with hints of chocolate and an underlying fruity sourness, then light to medium spicy bitter; leading to a spicy, malty, brandy-like finish with lots of embracing, warming alcohol. Full body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. I'd almost forgotten how good this was. (Edited 17/2/18)

Poured into a taster showing deep dark caramel close to a port wine with a finger of tanned foam. The nose shows rich, deep oranges with sweet citric sweetness. Extremely decadent and rich yet attractive nose; nothing like it. The nose smells so naturally fruit forward; a blind whiff would probably mistake it for a wine or something. The palate is full bodied and well carbonated. Flavors of deep rich and full candied oranges with an alcohol spiciness disguised in orange zest. Light and dangerously drinkable despite the high ABV, a bottle should be shared unless you have a sweet tooth.

Bottle at home. Poors dark brown, big foamy head, that dissolves into a thin head quickly. Nose moldy, yeasty, spices. Aroma is nutty, toast malt. Floral and resin hops. Spices and Belgian yeast represent. Also some dough, autumn leaves, chestnut, maple syrup. Brown sugar, alcohol. Some nice complexity going on but too brown sugary/alcoholic to really hit my charts. Carbo is low but spikey due to the high abv. (CocaCola + hops + vodka) - vanilla = Malheur 12
