The seveth beer of Christmas

Emelisse Winter-Bier
 
 
 
Never had anything from this brewery before so this should be interesting. A Dutch-brewed Belgian style quadruple/strong ale in short. A big boozy Belgian like thing full of dark candy sugar, alcohols and malt is what I was expecting. But at 9% it's certainly drinkable for the style. Prunes, apricot and peach fruits are at the fore with boozy candy sugar and caramel. Carbonation is on the low side so the finish is noticeably sweet fruit cake and yeasty notes. .
