Denne belgiske strong ale er uklar og nøddebrun med et luftigt, nøddebrunt skum, der har en lang holdbarhed og giver fine blonder på glasset. Den fyldige og komplekse aroma indeholder søde nuancer af karamel, chokolade, lakrids og kirsebær. Desuden bærer den friske, krydrede toner af anis, hyldeblomst og kakao. Smagen afrundes af en eftersmag med lang sødme. Når der kommer ris a la mande på bordet, kan det være svært at finde en øl, der passer til. Derfor har Ølfabrikken brygget denne belgisk inspirerede juleøl med kirsebærsaft. Original trappistgær gæret ved høj temperatur efterlader en masse aromatiske biprodukter, der sammen med en specialimporteret karamelsirup og kirsebærsaften giver stor kompleksitet i smag og duft. Under kogningen tilsættes lakridsrod, der sammen med syren fra kirsebærrene giver kant til det let humlede øl og dermed balancerer den kraftige maltsødme.

"Pours out in a cloudy dark brown colour with an eruptive tan-colored foam. Instense aroma of dades, spices, cherries, fudge, yeast and mild alcohol. Full flavour of cherries, licorice, fudge, crackers, port and balck pepper. Long warming finish of over-riped cherries, licorice, brown sugar and pepper. Classy brew. "
