Big and fruity, full of date and fig and brandied cherries, backed by vanilla, clove, brown sugar, and a little woodiness. Finishes dry and spicy. Very, very Belgian. Nice pint.

nutmeg, cinnamon spiced nose very malty semi sweet. Big carbonation, too much for the style, alcohol is well hidden. Pretty smooth but carbonation is too much.

The strange year 2020 is now history. What will 2021 bring? Who knows. Hopefully it will be better than the last This beer was anyway the first beer for me in this year A really good beer. But felt a bit more thin than expected. At not as complex Lovely deep amber pour in the glass and a fine creamy head Looks nice and inviting. Pleasant and mellow aroma. And also a creamy carbonation level Dangerously easy to drink Bready, fruity, toffee, some banana and some spices in the flavor [Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Halden, Norway] Everything will be ok God Bless you all out there. Hope to see you all soon Take care
