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.

Mistakenly ordered the 750ml: going to be a long night... Another volcanic ale, waiting for the head to go down... Nice dark red with a strongly lacing head. Not a very strong nose on this: maybe it's the persistent head that's suppressing it. Dark malts, sweetness, liquorice, dried fruits. Very boozy taste in the mouth and in the throat. Dark malts, raisin, dark fruitcake, liquorice in the mouth. Long lingering aftertaste. Good

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very dark brown colour with a medium sized thick creamy beige head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel and a little warming alcohol. Taste has lots of plums, more dry dark fruits and more caramel. Nicely balanced. Full bodied with average carbonation. Very nice Christmasy beer.
