Bottle from Carrefour. Hazy dark brown, stable, foamy, tan head. Aroma of raisin, prune, red apple slice, chestnut, toast, dark toffee, liquorice. Taste has sweet prune, raisin & red apple in a toffee-nutty malt body with a toasty bitter edge, herbal accent too. Earthy hoppy & toasty finish, lingering dried fruits, spices & caramel. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Not too shabby. Why not 6.9% ABV though?

Bottle online from Beerhouseshop.be. Label says ‘Winterklokje Cloche d’hiver’. Pours a dark chestnut brown colour with a medium sized fast dissipating beige head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, port, caramel, liquorice and molasses. Taste has more of the same notes again, quite woody and winey, noticeable alcohol with added notes of tobacco and brown sugar. Medium to full body. The more i drink of this beer the more cloying it becomes. Ok but i won’t be in a hurry to try again.

T: medium to full body, vaguely fruity, some caramel, bit woody, almost not rum or only weak, soft carbonation, ok yet nothing memorable at all.

Pours unclear, darker blonde. Medium sized, relatively low stability white head. Scent is clear BE yeast, mild oak (vaniline is quite high, which isn't pronounced in sherry, ussually). Taste is very vaniline, chemical, sweet, but annoyingly so. Chemical, BE yeast, mild bitterness, sweetness is completely out of balance, and so loaded on vanilline it's annoying and just bad to me. Reminding of Cornet, but even more extreme. As a big sherry fan, I don't recognize sherry at all in this mess. Medium body, medium carbo. Finish is vaniline, sweet, unnatural. No... Thats not good.
