From a 750ml bottle on 22/2/2013. Pours a very dark amber with a biggish head. Has a sweet, slightly fruity aroma, with some christmas cake notes. The flavour is also sweet, fruity, cakey and spicy, with a very gentle bitterness at the back. The carbonation is modest and the body medium. Nice enough but far from special, and quite subdued in character considering it’s 8%.

Smells sweet, strawberry and berries. Smells boozy as well. Pours without much head - typical of style. Dark brown. Taste is sweet, pretty low carbonation. Boozy bitter. Taste along the lines of the Abbaye des Rocs without being quite in the same ballpark. Some honey here as well. Bottle from Only Cafe.
