0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', best before November 2026. Very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty and quite herbal-spicy aroma of chocolate, chili, ginger and licorice root. Gently sweet, malty, moderately roasty, slightly herbal-spicy taste of chocolate, caramel, chili, ginger, cinnamon and some licorice root, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, slightly peppery finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting take on a Christmas beer, fortunately not too spicy, very well-executed.
