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

0.25 bottle, 8.1%, no idea where I got it from (back o' the fridge) but it's not even expired. Medium brown, big and very fine-bubbled head. Fat and complex malty-sweet nose, bready and nutty. The taste is really wondrous with a big and melted-together mix of light roast notes, chewy artisan bread, biscuit, brown sugar, and just a hint of the high-alcohol hidden beneath. Aftertaste is pretty neutral, light bitterness without a lot of hop flavor. Excellent Belgian!

750 ml corked and crowned bottle. Garnet colored pour. Rocky tan head starts big but dissipates to a small uneven cap. Spotty lacing. Yeasty toffeeish malt aroma. Flavor is toasted malt, dark cherries, figs and brown sugar. Some spiciness on the backend.Perhaps some cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Overall, a tasty, smooth Belgian Christmas beer.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Some sweet malts and cinnamon in the aroma. Quite a fruity taste to be honest and not that complex. Kinda metallic in the end with a high fizz. Bit of a coca cola end really.
