Bottle 330ml @ fonefan
Pours clloudy amber with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel and oxidization. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. A gusher, producing a small, dense off-white head over a more or less clear, dark golden body. Rather malty nose with some toffee and dried fruits. A light oxidation too. It’s toffee-ish and quite fruity, almost citrusy on the palate, medium to full bodied and lightly warming, but the spices promised in the commercial description are well hidden. Well, a decent beer, but nothing extraordinary going on. Not bad for a Christmas beer. 120623

Bottle. Murky brown color, scant white edge head. Aroma of cinnamon, taste is similar. Straightforward.

Light gushing to dense, yellow-cream tinted head over hazy redamber to brownish beer. Roasted malts, sweetish nose and then spices - reasonably balanced, as individual spices hard to recognise - cinnamon, coriander, allspice,...? Speculooskruiden Spiced (coriander now obvious, again cinnamon and allspice/clove); light-sweet, but with a bit watery finish. No roasted notes in the flavour. Warming up, the coriander starts to annoy. Rather too carbonated, and the finish is too light; alcoholwarming, accentuated by the spices. It’s good homebrew, but still... homebrew. OK for a first commercial try.
