Superbe bière d’hiver, ambrée, couronnée d’un importante mousse blanche. Elle présente de beaux arômes d’herbes, de poivre et de malt. Comme toutes les bières de la gamme Goliath, elle présente une subtile amertume.

330 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours cloudy red orange color with a 1-2 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice foamy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of big raisin, prune, pear, clove, allspice, ginger, tea, cinnamon, molasses, bread, herbal, and yeast spiciness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity. Taste of raisin, toast, biscuit, caramel, molasses, clove, ginger, earth, nuttiness, tea, allspice, herbal, and yeast spiciness. Lingering notes of dark fruits, caramel, toast, biscuit, molasses, nuttiness, ginger, tea, herbal, and clove on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and balance of flavors; nice balance of malt and holiday spice flavors; zero cloying on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy and slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very nice Belgian spiced beer. Nice spice/malt balance and complexity; very smooth to sip on. Very enjoyable and unique offering.

Bottle. Hazy brown color, medium tan head. Aroma of cinnamon, clove. Taste is sweet raw brown bread, raisins, light spice. Not bad.Earlier Rating: 12/16/2009 Total Score: 4.4Bottle courtesy of Greg Engert at Churchkey. Chestnut/amber color with a large white head, long-lasting, with great lacing. Subtle aroma of spice, maybe cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavor begins with light mixed winter spice, then grass, then malt, then pumpernickel bread, and finishes with a faint bitter edge. Nicely complex. Great body. My second favorite Christmas beer of the 2009 season so far, very nice indeed.

Draft @ Moeder Lambic, Fontainas. Couleur cuivre, col beige. Arôme est épicé mais en retrait par rapport au palais, note de malt avec pointe de cannelle. En bouche, bière bière très sympathique, petite pointe de cannelle, noix de muscade, mais aussi d’épice de pin. Le tout sur un malt léger allant du pale au caramel et grains finissant sur une fine amertume.Earlier Rating: 12/23/2009 Total Score: 4bottle pours hazy amber, fizzy white head. Impressive aroma, lots of camomile and hints of Belgian yeast (champagne?), mild note of malt. flavor, light malty profile, followed by a refreshing herbal/camomile palate that make this beer something very unique. Tea like finish, sweet notes of dark/brown sugar. Very reminiscent of FL’s St-Somewhere Lectio Divina. good seasonal that stays away from the usual all-spice notes.

330 ml bottle. Huge spicy aroma--ginger and cardamum. Malty and rich. Very sweet, slightly fruity (stewed apples?), and enormous, overdone spice. Cardamum, ginger, pepper. Too much.
