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

A superbargain at $ 2,- for 8 bottles and a glass. Huge frothy head. Malty aroma with chocolate, pepper and licorice. Sweet flavor with milk chocolate, hoppy and peppery. The alcohol is well hidden. Excellent beer that only lacks a bit of body.

Creamy light brown head stayed on a dark mahogany coloured still body. Raisins, dried fruits, Christmas & demerara aroma. Medium bodied, creamy to the fore with tingly clean back. Taste is much as the aroma with brown sugar, dark berry, Christmas cake, dark spirits, chocolate & hints of orange
