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.

Butelka 33cl (BB 19.08.2029). Ciemne z obfitą, beżową pianą. Aromat delikatny z nutami ciemnych słodów, Belgia bardzo subtelna. W smaku gładkie z nutami ciemnych słodów, delikatną nutą pikantną i alkoholu na finiszu, który razem z przyprawami lekko piecze w gardle. Ogólnie bardzo przyjemne piwo.
