This beer is inspired by the Belgian Christmas Beers, known for their thick warming body, light spices and balanced hop profile.
It’s a dark brown, sweet and potent Belgian strong ale. The aroma gives away notes of spices, caramel, roasted malt and nuts. The flavor has some hints of dark dried fruit, brown sugar, and liquorice. It’s sweet with notes of caramel, orange peel and spices and the finish is lightly dry due to the balanced hop profile.

Servida en cáliz, color marrón oscuro con ciertos reflejos burdeos, prácticamente opaca, corona de espuma beige de retención media. El aroma es muy agradable, maltas tostadas, caramelo, fruta pasificada (ciruelas, pasas...), cacao, especias... En boca es cálida, sedosa, con un dulzor de entrada cargado de notas gustativas, maltas tostadas, coñac, chocolate negro, pasas, ciruelas secas, azúcar quemado...el final tiene un ligerísimo punto amargo, deja en el paladar una sensación licorosa y especiada larga y placentera. Muy buena cerveza

Bottled (from Alko Prisma, Vaasa). Deep red colour with a mediumsized creamy white head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel, coffee, toffee and some toasted and spicy tones. Flavour is toasted malts, some dark dried fruits, mild caramel, toffee, a bit alcohol with some herbal tones. Feels a bit empty, more sugar, less ingredients in this vintage?
