Thank you! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ Kerstbierfestival Essen 2015. Not sure if this is still in production since I think that the affiliated store no longer excises. Dark brown, small mocha head. Nose is sweet nasty off-putting licorice, herbal, caramel, excessive yeast, fish guts,… Taste is rotting spoiled fruit, spoiled yeast, candy, herbal, weird fish guts,… Fizzy, herbal yeast. All that is not cute & fuzzy in Belgian beers of this kind. Nope.

Bottle thnx to Matt ! Pours unclear brown / very dark amber. small and fast fading white head . Smell is sweet, malty, tiny bit of port . Taste is sweet, very much madeira ( no real port ) over a glue-like funkyness kinda off-flavor . Overcarbonated , thin mouthfeel . Ok , over its prime, no doubt about that , but on top of that the glue-aspect than makes this less good than average .

8/XII/12 - 33cl can from De Zytholoog / Bierloods (Adegem) @ home - BB: 3/XII/13 (2012-1346)
Cloudy red brown beer, big aery beige head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: caramel, some dried fruits, bit sour, raisins. MF: quite some carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity, sour, red berries, strawberry jam, some chocolate. Aftertaste: little sour, dried fruits, raisins. Wow, I really like this one! Probably age has something to do with it (2 years?), but man. Good stuff!

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear warm amber with a creamy off-white head. Very perfumy aroma - coriander and star anise? Fairly solid body, some caramel but the heavy dose of spices dominate. Some warming alcohol. 301112
