On tap in Brugge during my last trip Nov-Dec 2015. Pours a maroon red with an amber hue, the beige head hanging around for a while on both of the glasses I had. Malty nose with dried fruits, the taste similar in nature. Semi-sweet with some spice notes, caramel/toffee hints in with the seasonal dried fruits. Not overly strong in alcohol or flavour, but decent enough.

Bottle - Dark malts and nice raisins. Deep maroon with a rich beige head. Sweet raisins and toffee with a nice long pleasant finish. Nothing particularly exciting mind you, but a well crafted and enjoyable beer. With so many overspiced and boozy winter beers, this shows nice restraint.
