Sehr gemüseartiger Antrunk ohne festen Aromenbezug. Etwas muffig, wenig spritzig. Nun ehe malzig werdend, dabei ist eine gewisse Getreidenote präsent. Das Bier schmeckt hier nach Kürbis, desweiteren nach Steinfrüchten, nach Ingwer. Der insgesamt muffige Eindruck stört etwas, ansonten ist das Bier süffig, die Aromen angenehm gestreut. Danke an den Doppelbock für das Bier! 10/9/9/10/8/9

Very hazy dark brown coloured body, very opaque with a super dense tan head that tops the beer so perfectly. Aroma of roasted malt, figs, stale hops, nuts and some toffee - not great but not horrible. Medium-bodied; Strong malty taste showing a good character with some hops and a good nuttiness that ends the beer. Alcohol is noticeable but not much overpowering. Aftertaste shows some lighter malt and a bit of the nuts. Overall, a decent beer - a bit odd for a holiday seasonal - but good to try. I sampled this one year old 75 cL bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 24-December-2005.

750ml, bought it maybe 2 months ago. Sat in a fridge for maybe a few days before tonight. Poured into Tripel Karmeliet glass, and boy what a head on this puppy. Pours with just a monster of a foam. Foam only lasts for a few mintues but leaves a surface covered with lacing. Color is dark amber, can’t see through it but medium clarity within the beer. Aroma is present with a strong sweetness and a present underlying spice aroma, not overwhelming but there. There is a weird sourness that may come from infection as some have mentioned but it works well with this beer. I would pay for this infection. Some toastiness and woodsiness in it. Taste is not as interesting, the sourness is gone. Watered down sweetness mainly with a nutty character. Body is thin and watery, mouthfeel is slightly spikey. Leaves a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Dark orange amber ale with a creamy white head. Smooth ginger and citrus, with light floral hops. In mouth, ginger root, coriander and hops, rather light bodied, with acidic points, a bit too thin and acidic. Sampled with Mtl crew, April 16 2006.

Medium copper pour with respectable, lasting head - aroma of christmas cookie dough (bready malt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) - kind of light bodied for a winter warmer, but that isn’t exactly bad - gentle sweetness, and a subtle ginger, clove and cinnamon presence - a little spicy kick at the end - not bad.

2003 750mL bottle. Pours a thick looking red-amber, with a good beige head, quite foamy. Quite bubbly as usual for the brewery. Smells lightly spicy (cinnamon, comfrey, peppermint, allspice) and has a good hop presence. The hops seemed to have mellowed and melded with the candy-like malt sweetness. Flavor is right away spicy and before it really has extended breathing time, there is a strange plastic flavor mixed in with the hops and other spices. Loose, medium body throughout, but a decently flavorful experience. Odd, but I could justify giving this a really low rating or a pretty decent one. On one hand, it seems thin and strangely spiced, with no real purpose. On the other, it tastes real, you can see the sediment at the end of the glass and you know it’s well made. I dont know, I thought it got much better after it warmed and breathed for about an hour or so. Very yeasty, herbally and earthy. Strange, but I liked it.
