Bottle from a party store shared. Pours a cloudy / murky brown copper color with a full 2 fingers of off-white foam. Raisin, prune, clove and light coriander notes as it warms. A bit of barnyard in there as well. Easy drinking beer from Dany with nice lingering prune, peppercorn and spice cabinet notes.

Awesome. Tart berries/pear/apricot/plum/peppercorn/cardamom/clove/caramel/brown sugar/leather/musty/barnyard funk. Smooth/min warmth. Spot on dark style. As impressive as I remember a while ago.

Copper, medium white head. Nose is malts, tad sweet, fruits. Taste is malts, bit dry, winter feeling. In fact, feels like a cross-over between a saison and a winter beer. A bit weird but nice.

Bottle. Orange reddish color, pours a huge head. Coreander, anis, cardemom and red berries in the spicy aroma and flavor. Malty, slightly tart and alcoholic. Why oh why so many spices in this beer? It could habe been so nice.
