Draught @ Van Moll Brewpub during De La Senne Tap Takeover. Red - brown color, average to medium sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, a little sweet, a little bitter, fortunately no herbal or spices bomb. Pretty nice beer. I like it.

Bottle from Belgian Beer Shop, Leuven. Brown colour, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Grassy, notes of caramel and spices. Light roastiness. Some pepper. Medium sweet, harsh bitter finish. Ok beer.

Spiced Christmas ale with creamy, thinnish, off-white head and deep bronze colour, cloudy. Sharpish spiciness in the nose, cloves, grapefruit, black pepper, nutmeg, fondant, candied dates, cold coffee, old ’jenever’. Fruity, spicy taste, dry with medium carbo, rounded nutty and somewhat caramelly maltiness, drying spiciness in the middle but I don’t think it is coriander in this case - though I have no idea what it is then. Long hop and roasted bitter finish, mouth-filling, dry and satisfying.
