Bottle @ home. Deep dark brown colour, beige foam. Nose of dried fruit, caramel, some spices, a bit roasty. Taste is sweet, malty, some hoppiness and notes of spices. Well balanced.

18 December 2020. Christmas Beer Evening with the lovely Anke! Bottle from Geers. Could be the 2018 edition for all I know. Hazy dark brown, thick, foamy, tan head. Aroma of candied orange, prune, date, chocolate praliné, fudge, coriander, wet clove, liquorice, brandy. Taste has very sweet dark fruits (date, prune, plum), bittersweet candied orange in a rather subtle caramelly body; some spicy coriander & toast in the middle; ending herbal hoppy with liquorice, lots of dried dark fruits & heating brandy alcohol. Full body, oily-syrupy texture, average carbonation. Mikkeller taking on the Dark Belgian Ale style and just acing it.

I always drink this one with my friends at our annual Christmas meeting. Damned good beer. As it was last year and the year before that…… [Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Halden, Norway] Jostein 19
