[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/16/2007 2:55:21 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep brown/burgundy color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention and lacing. Aroma of candi sugar with some sweet apricot and a dry fig is totally sublime. Taste is a mix between great Belgian caramel malt with some dry figs and candi sugar with a creamy texture. Body is full and alcohol is totally not discernable. This beer somehow reminded me of Gouden Carolus Noel and maybe a bit of Rochefort 10 in there. "

"I had this beer at a bevmo tasting in Laguna Niguel, California. It pours a medium brown color and had the aroma and flavor of dried fruit (raisins?)along w/ some caramel notes in its taste. It's a very nice sipping beer."

"On tap at Toronado - SF: To say that I was a little disappointed would be fairly accurate. I was hoping for a rich, complex, warming Christmas beer (a la Scaldis Noel), but what I got was somthing just a little below that. It was still a good beer, don't get me wrong. An aroma of candi sugar, cloves, a little caramel and some molasses. The pour was a dark murky brown with a nice off-white fluffed head. Mouthfeel was medium-bodied, not heavy but very drinkable. Flavors a nice combonation of the aroma plus a little toffee and cinnamon. A nice Christmas beer. "

"Hazy dark nutbrown colour with small beige head. Aroma of sweet plum and some hops. Flavour is sweet alcohol with plummy hints and some toffee. This brew feels a bit empty and somehow unbalanced, maybe a year or two more in the bottle would make it more pleasant. "
