As in the Belgian tradition of brewing Christmas beers, this is our very own version. It is added with orange peel and raisins. The aromas are warming and captivating and swing from nutty to citrus and slight hints of honey. Mouthfeel starts with caramel and honey flavors and lead to cherry and currant flavors with a delicate bitter finish.

33cl bottle, bbe 08/2018. Poured deep brown, near black with a thick off white head. Mild funky, ripe fruity, plummy aroma. Guessing the funk aint intentional but it kinda fits here. Sweet fruity, plummy, ripe fruity flavors, some spices, some warmth. Soaked raisins in finish. Warming.

Draft @ Osteria Del Borgo, Roma. Bottle courtesy opened by the bar manager. Acajou, col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est bien malté sur un caramel dominant et touche de crystal. Rétro sur fine pointe de réglisse, fruits noirs avec un complément de houblons nobles. Palais garde un côté belge sur la levure, cara pâle, crystal, pointe de figue, prune et encore, une petit touche de réglisse. Je retrouve aussi un caractère chocolaté avec un fini collant aux lèvres. Le houblon sur un effet noble apportant juste la balance niveau de l'amertume.

As far as it concerns this beer being a Christmas ale, I’d say it’s pretty well brewed. Whether you like the style or not is a completely different story. It pours dark ruby with a huge, dense, tan head that lasts long. Aroma is red berries, vanilla, hot sweet wine punch. All very Christmas-y. Taste is sweetish, oily, a little boozy. Long finish with no bitterness whatsoever. Season’s greetings!

Bottle from Eataly, Genoa consumed at home Tuesday 6th June 2017 whilst cooking Untraditional Shepherd Pies from the Pie book. This is a far more interesting beer than I was expecting, it does taste more Belgian than I thought, nice dark sugars, pleasant bitterness. Pours chestnut, good clarity, white head. Quite fruity but with a dab of spice drinks much easier than it should. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.7
