Bottled. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of berries, while the flavor is sweet malty with a light spicy touch besides the caramel.

Good, but not long-living, yellowish head over brown chestnut beer. Coriander soup, with some oxydized malts notes in the nose. Sweet, with sour-sweetish spicey notes, but generally revolting soupy taste. Slick, fatty, oily, ugh. Beer that had gone for a few years. Seen the result of the reappearance, the necromancer to revive it, must be fully evil.

3 years old, corked bottle
Dark amber color; giant creamy head. Malty aroma, barleywine-like, with spices (white pepper) and bitter oranges. Good malt, quite sweet, with a strong liquorice character. A real Christmas beer; ends less sweet (the age…).
