(Bottle, 0.33 l - BB 17/08/2026, from Alko, 20161229) The beer dark brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and nearly white. Aroma had caramel, banana, dried fruits and malts. Palate was medium bodied and warming with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, roasted malts, caramel, banana and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, hoppy and bitter. A nice strong brew but there was a slightly unpleasant burnt undertone.

Decent dark color with a fine off white head. Ok lacing Fineintensity in the aroma. Full body and an average to soft carbonation level. Bready, toffee, yeast, fruity and some spices in the flavor. The other annual Santa Little Helper have been a lot better in my opinion. Ok masked alcohol.
