Bottle, 2024 vintage. Caramel malt aroma with notes of dark fruit, spicy Belgian yeast, clove, Candi sugar and orange peel. Pours chestnut amber colored with a finger of tan head that has good retention and some lacing. Starts with caramel, dark fruit and Candi sugar flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes smooth spicy Belgian yeast, clove and orange peel flavors as well as sweet, warming booze at the very end. Nice.

330ml bottle. Pours a hazy copper amber with a large, frothy, long lasting, beige head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, Belgian yeast, raisin, fig, red apple and clove. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, candi sugar, orange peel, plum, Belgian yeast and clove in a dry, slightly alcoholic finish. Medium to full body with a thick, sticky texture and soft carbonation. Nice complexity.

Aroma of sweet malt, cloves, herbal notes, candy sugar, ripe fruity notes. Flavour is sweet. Okay, but quite sweet and sugary.

Bottle courtesy of Giulia M. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e modo di cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine, con carbonazione abbondante. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è nella norma. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità . Sul palato si fermano note di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane cotto di recente, un accenno di resinoso, agrumi, arancia amara, mandarino e frutta passita.

Аромат темных фруктов и карамели. Пена очень пышная. кремовая и с большими пузырями. Цвет темно янтарный. Вкус в основе карамельный, также чувствуется яблочный пирог и темные фрукты. Несмотря на десять градусов, пиво весьма водянистое и вкус не такой глубокий как у лучших в этом стиле. Кстати алкоголь вообще не ощущается, даже когда пиво теплое.

750 ml corked and crowned white bottle. Garnet colored pour. Large, frothy beige head. Spotty lacing. Spicy, toasted malt aroma. Flavor is sweet toasted malt. Some spiciness. Notes of dark dried fruits, caramel, cocoa and toasted walnuts. Lots of bitterness and warming alcohol on backend. Mildly complex and spicy. Cheers and Happy New Year!
