12 ounce bottle. Barely translucent dark brown color. Moderate creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, molasses and nutmeg. Interesting roasted malt flavor has notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and tart yeastiness. Rather sweet in the mid taste where the spices really come forward. Soapy hop finish. Overall, different, but good.

Bottle. Pours deep brownish black with medium caramel brown head. Aroma is very intense with notes of "Gammel Dansk" bitter, mint, licorice and coffee. Taste is medium to very bitter, medium sweet and light acidic. Body is creamy with soft carbonation. Finish is long and mostly bitter with notes that follow the nose plus white sugar, cardamom and mint. Very intense and complex but sickly atomistic if consumed in larger quantities.
