Een rijk en verwarmend bier voor de donkere dagen. Zoetige mout en kandij suiker met tonen van karamel en zoethout. Vrij lange, kruidige afdronk.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark purple, with a nice fluffy head of cream foam, mid grained. Aroma is toasty, licorice. Body is partially dense, with average carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet, especially persisting in the final.

Sample from bottle at Remko's bierproefavond 20dec2024. Didn't take notes, preferred the nice company. Remember a darker brown color, winterbeer spicyness, caramel malt and some raisins. Ok Christmas time beer.

Bottle, bb 9/25. Bottle says 8..1% ABV. Dark brown with a dense cm of beige head. Aroma of strong bread, spices, brown sugar, stewed and dried fruit. The spices don't seem overdone. Perhaps they're a little more prominent upon a sip, partly because the palate is rather lighter than expected. Moderately sweet, more doughy than bready with both yeasty and actual spices before moderate bitterness.

Sampled on tap at Max's Belgian Fest 2024 is a clear caramel brown with a clump of white head. Nose has caramel and candy and dates and spice. It's big. Flavor proves that. Dates and raisins and cloves and caramel and malt and candy. Full bodied and sticky on the finish.
