15 December 2021. At Makadam, Mechelen. Cheers to the lovely Anke!
Hazy brown, thin, off-white head. Aroma of raisin, red apple, plum, caramel, 'wet' cinnamon, rainwater, red cabbage, iron. Taste has sweetish raisin, fig & pear in a peanutty malt body, vague diluted caramel note on the side. Herbal hoppy finish, nutty with dried fruits, vague spicy cinnamon, oddly metallic bitter. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Not very festive all in all; this brewery has not yet convinced me.

33cl bottle from Carrefour @ Cours St Michel in Brussels. F: big, beige, not long lasting. C: brown coppery, light hazy. A: sweet malty, fruity, bit berries, spicy mix. T: medium malty base, mellow fruity, bit spicy, perfumed, bit caramel, lower carbonation, drinkable but bit strange for me.
