Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, some chocolate, dark fruits, raisins, herbs. Flavour is sweet, a little boozy, with a light bittersweet finish. Smooth and lovely winter brew.

Bottle courtesy of the rotbox. No signs of harmful oxidation but I find this iteration a hint too spicy. Meh...

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, brunt socker, sirap, bröd, toffe, anis med kryddiga toner och kakor. Rund och len, tjock, lagom sötma, bra balans och beska.

Flaska från SB. Teakfärgad vätska med medelhöft beige skum som lämnar en hel del rester. Doft av muskovado, torkad frukt, choklad, mörk karamell, buret av alkoholvärme. Potent och sött fortfarande efter tre år, kanske väl sött och aningen enkelspårigt men annars en bra belgiskorienterad vintervärmare. Gott.

Opaque dark brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, some nicely integrated caramel - toffee. Touch of licorice. Cooling smooth spices with some tangy fruits underneath. Smooth finish. Comes over as a mellow spiced porter. Very smooth.
