0.25 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', best before August 2026. Clear, very deep amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, white head. Sweetish-malty, gently yeasty-spicy aroma of caramel, clove, some honey and light sultanas. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy taste of caramel, clove, honey, nuts and hints of sultanas, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, gently boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Decent ale.

clear chestnut colour, medium sized creamy beige-ish head; aroma of intensive Christmas spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and some clove, as well) caramel, biscuits and dried fruits (dates, figs, some prune and maybe some dried cherries); taste has similar notes to the aroma; not that bad, though does not have the 'body' for this amount of spices

Bottle picked up from Eurotunnel, Coquelles, Calais, France and consumed Wednesday 4th December 2024, Rawson Green, Kilburn Derbyshire in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours caramel brown with a tiny bit of haze (chill haze?), off white head. A bit of caramel and spice in the mouth, light fruity. Very soft mouthfeel, it's a good beer.
