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.

Bottle 75 cl. Hazy amber with a tiny off-white head. Brown sugar dominates the nose, a little nuts too and a vague whiff of yeast. Quite full-bodied but hardly any carbonation. Again lots of brown sugar and nuts with a warming alcohol in the finish with hardly any hops. 231211

Bottle from Oak Tree. Pours dark brown/ruby with a few light tan bubbles for head. Dark fruit, kandi and yeast/spice aroma. Hop? Full bodied. Very mild and smooth carbonation. Flavor is darkly roasted malt - more caramel actually - with some floral hop. Not much bitter. Fairly well balanced. Nice drink. Not a trace of heat.

12.7 fl oz bottle shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is hazed brown orange amber with a smallish off white head. The head falls off to a few small bubbles quickly. Aroma of sweet malts, soft toasty bready grain, some nice bitter fruitiness. The nose is quite full and inviting. Taste has some light fruit sourness up front, followed close behind with the brown sugar sweet maltiness, and a big mineral earthiness. Decent integration of the sour, fruit and earth. Palate is medium, coats the mouth a bit, aftertaste sees the pleasant mineral aspect turn a bit unclean. Thanks for sharing this one Eugene, it was an interesting beer.
