The smell is rich and full of Belgium spice aroma. There is also some notes of raisins and dark malt. The color is a very dark brown that light can barley pass through. The head is very thick with good retention that isn't going away.
The taste is very spicy, more spice than normal Belgium beers. There is also some nice hop flavors and bitterness to the beer. The mouthfeel is full and effervescent. I can't really taste the high gravity, but I can feel the 10% after a few sips. The finish is a little bitter and leaves my mouth watering.
I can see the Christmas characteristics of this beer with the added spice and alcohol. This is one of the best Christmas beers I've had, but it's by no means the best Belgium beer I've had. I would recommend this beer to anyone looking for a good beer.
