Great lengths were taken to ensure its authentic characteristics. German and Belgian malts, noble hops and a unique yeast strain are all necessary to produce this unique ale. It is aged for one month; beer that tends to please red wine drinkers and is definitely not for the novice beer drinker.

pours clear dar ruby with a 1+ finger head that left some spotted lacing
smells of fruity malts some xmas spice???
taste - maybe they should use some belgian yeast?? if you want to brew a belgian beer
over spiced tastes like an xmas tree
mouthfeel is good lots of carbonation with a medium body
drinkability is not good - this makes me not want to drink anything else from this brewery

I love the way this beer looks. Pours dark brick read with a half inch of fine off-white foam. The smell is pleasant; floral and slightly sour. The taste leaves something to be desired; surprisingly sour with a decent, funky malt finish. Not much to say about the mouthfeel- not creamy, but not entirely unpleasant. I certainly didn't hate this brew, but I'm not sure I would buy it in a bottle again. Definitely need to try this on tap next time I have a chance.
