Golden colour with thin lacy head. Loads of caramel malt sweetness and body. Earthy and floral hop notes.

An interesting, unique Belgian Ale, something we need a lot more of in the US in 2022. Zesty hop balance, bright yeast esters. Balanced, easy drinking for the style. Rustic earthy hints, but clean and bright on the palate. Really good.

4 pack at home. Dark pour. Nose is dried fruits and toffee. Taste of some caramel, fig, red wine, dates and molasses. Thinner bodied than expected. Some booze.

12oz bottle. Rich, malty. Sort of at the crossroads between a Winter Warmer and a Belgian Christmas beer. Really pleasant to sip at, well made. Orange peel, cinnamon? Spices are certainly present but never heavy handed or overwhelming. Pretty solid beer.
Great, typical winter warmer.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours darkly ruddy amber with a beige/tan head. Aroma of nuts and cinnamon. Med body, barely. Flavor is roasty, nutty, cinnamon. Not dry. Not all that sweet. Honey on my lips. Some mild bitterness. It's pleasant, but the flavors aren't strong, and the ABV is lacking for the style, IMHO. Nice enough.
