Squat little 33cl bottle pours clear brownish amber with ruby highlights and a nice tan latte head. The aroma smells a little like Christmas with winter spices, fruit cake, a bit of rum like notes and then some lighter notes of caramel and cherries. The taste is spicy hop notes, spicy yeast notes, spicy winter like notes with cherry, prunes and raisins too. It gets a bit boozy and cherry hard candy like to midway but a thin layer of caramel helps pull it back together. Into the finish the spicy notes return and get a bit resiny at time.

Zythos Bierfestival 2012, Leuven, Belgium. It pours mahogany with ruby red edges and nice creamy looking tan head with some sheet lacing. The aroma offers up thick notes of prunes and dates as well as some roasted malts and chocolate, nice. The taste has some sweet dark fruity esters like prunes and figs but those notes are tempered by somewhat dry roasted malts and some yummy chocolate. Very nice balance is achieved keeping this from getting too sweet. Darn tasty quad.

Dark brown murky pour. Good scummy tan head and decent lacing. Mild coffee aroma with caramel and yeast. Flavour follows the nose but is bolder.If there is such a thing as rusty leather it's in there too. Sweet, fruity and earthy. Smooth medium mouthfeel with just a hint of alcohol warmth.
