Bottle 50 cl. Pours a dark brown with an amber hue and a creamy and lacing beige head. Surprisingly discreet aroma considering the long list of spice additions, but the only one really coming through is the star anise. Fairly rich, sweet and very smooth body with distinct Belgian yeast accents. Licorice, soft roast and molasses before a warming finish. It's a sea of Xmas spices but quite well made. 081025

Bottle, 7.2%. Roasted and dusty aroma, smells like old spices, pepper or something. Clear dark brown colour. Small frothy tan head. The flavour has some cinnamon and aniseed. Also a little black pepper, I think. Caramelly finish. OK spicy but well-balanced.
