Purchased at my local Métro store. Huge beige head that stays a real long time, with foamy lacing. Its colour is really dark red, which is seen through the highlights. Huge anise nose overpowering the roasted malt, with lots of spices reminding me of Jägermeister. Smooth mouthfeel with no burning at all. The anise is not as strong in the taste, blending the black licorice with some fruits (oranges, citrus) with hints of coffee and chocolate in the finish. A real easy drinking strong ale for those who like anise and spices.

Tap: Poured a deep dark brown color ale with a small foamy head with light retention and lacing. Aroma of spices (maybe some liquorice, anis and some other s that are to distinguish in the mix). Taste is quite refreshing with loads of spices flavor though not overwhelming with some sweet Belgian style malt. Body is bit lighter then I was expecting with some good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting take on there style but fuller body would have provided even more enjoyment out of that one.

A dark brown ale with a thick moka head. An intense mix of dark fruits, fruity esters, cinnamon, ginger and warming alcohol. In mouth, a very sweet candy sugar, with nice hopping, loads of spices, cinnamon, ginger, licorice, nice winter warmer, in the league with Gouden Carolus Noel, Guden Drak, and others. Perfect x-mas ale. Also served mulled in a scotch snifter. On tap at brewpub Nov. 30 2009.
