Backlog September 2011. Deep reddish amber body under a small beige head. Aroma has malt, caramel, Christmas spices and dry fruit. Taste is sweet malt, caramel, chocolate, dry fruit and lots of Christmas spices. Medium body with same aftertaste. Nice spicy ale.

Tap at Craft back in April. Dark brown with golden head. Aroma is smoke, bit of chocolate, roasty malt. Taste is similar, sweet chocolate, little bit of something spicy, I thought ginger. Nice roastiness.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, almost black, with cream colored foam, fine. Aroma is caramel and malty. Body is fairly dense with medium carbonation, tongue-touching. Taste is pretty sweet, with a moderate bitterness. Finish is long and sweet.

(Keg at Sori Taproom, 20180106) The beer poured deep reddish brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and nearly white. Aroma had malts, caramel and berries. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, berries, caramel, tartness and bitterness. Aftertaste had berries, tartness and bitterness. A bit messy brew. I failed to understand why this was brewed.

Fra fat (planke) på Taphouse København nov-17: mørkerød mahogny med fint skum som varer. Julestemningen kommer allerede i aromaen, her er rikelig med muskat, nellik og kongerøkelse. Likeså i den saftige smaken. Fin bitterhet og solid maltkropp. Kanskje den også kan serveres varm?
