Bottle: Unclear, ruby-amber coloured, visible carbonation, floaties detectable, stable tanned layer, not too sweet toasty-caramelly nose, covering a well hidden fruitiness; light to moderate sweet-sourish flavour, barely full bodied; some bitter-malty traces in the toasty-yeasty finish. O.K.,but no great pleasure…

On tap at Fiere Margriet, Leuven. Porued a clear dark amber-brown body with an off white head. Fine malty, slightly spicey and fruity aroma with very light coffee. Umm.... I expected a huge coffee assault and it didn’t deliver, but there definitely is a certain presence. Nice, sweetish malty backbone. Bitter finish. Definitely pleasant stuff.

(Draught at De Paas, Den Haag, 21 Feb 2013) Reddish brown colour with creamy pale brown head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, dried fruit and coffee. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dried fruit, raisins, prunes and a touch of coffee in a finish with a gentle bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. The coffee character stays in the background, making this quite well balanced. Nice one.

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Old yellow with a thin dense white head. Sweet yeasty aroma with some spices (ginger?). Taste is overdominated by the used herbs and spices, leaving a very articifical experience. Lively carbonation and a bittersweet aftertaste

33 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ Hogerdijk, Culemborg. Reddish brown with a rather big dense beige head. Sweet caramel aroma with some black berries. Taste is bittersweet but the berries tend to dominate all. Aftertaste is nicely bitter. Bit of an odd beer, not very balanced.

Tap sample at In de Wildeman. Clear dark copper to brown colour, off-white head. Aroma of Christmas spices, brown sugar, candied fruits, amber malts, ground coffee. Flavour is likewise, with a nice coffee flavour and good bitterness. Light to medium-bodied. Decent Belgian Strong Ale, came across as a Belgian winter ale with coffee added. Nowhere near a stout as stated here on RB, that must be a mistake.
