[as Extraomnes Kerst Reserva, 2020 vintage] Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera molto elevata e la maniera in cui permane è considerevole. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana media. Il piano sottostante si presenta pesantemente velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato e multidimensionale. L'amaro non è invadente. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, frutta passita, uvetta bagnata nel rum, prugna, rabarbaro, vino rosso, vino Porto, marsala, burro e pepe nero.

Bottle, courtesy of Daniele; 12% ABV
Golden colour, cloudy and dull, with small creamy head. Aroma of spicy yeast. Good body strength, moderate residual sweetness; strong yeast character, there's some coriander, pepper, light liquorice; warming alcohol. Good.

2020 vintage at 11.3%. 330 ml bottle. pours a dull yellow brown with light head. Aromas of candi sugar, soft Belgian yeast and bready malts with maybe a bit of spice. Flavors of bready malts, stewed fruit, pears and a bit more hard to define spice (maybe alcohol). OK but can’t really get the Belgian Xmas

2022 vintage, tap at Malto, Riccione, Italy. Pours dark amber, medium hazy, with very fine white foam, moderate. Aroma is malty and caramel. Body is partially dense, with average carbonation. Taste is medium sweet, with a fairly dry final.

Can. A rather nice Belgian Christmas triple, with lots of caramel, light funk, red wine, light maltiness and a decent sweetness balanced by light acidity. Very interesting.

Bottle at tasting, thanks Mark. Golden amber colour, not much head. Aroma is booze, herbal, bit chemically, lots more booze, marmalade, calvados. Taste is nice enough, quite fruity, bit of strange caramel sweetness. Secretly kicking me in the nuts. Fruity sweetness and tastes quite tripel like. Quite a weird one. I like it but it is probably not doing me any good. Finish is a bit marzipan and sweet.

Bottle - Vintage 2014 - Sweet butterscotch and apricot with some oxidization. Cloudy gold with a small white head. Apricot, and sweet fruity notes. Old but decent considering it’s age.

Hazy amber. Not much head. A little bit oxidized, with a shade of alcohol. On the palate, it's okay, has some oxidation but also some fruity notes, a shot of alcohol, light esters, and the malts aren't bad still - they still have just enough young life in them to work. That mix of fruitiness and wood in the finish is nice.

Vintage 2013. 330mL bottle, pours a cloudy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma is quite oxidized, with Belgian yeast and cardboard. Flavour is similar, with oxidation, Belgian yeast, a hint of sweetness, and cardboard. Yeasty and oxidized on the finish. Not too pleasant anymore - thanks fiulijn for another oxidized beer.
