Bottle sample at the 3rd Israeli Sour Tasting. Thanks beerandbeyond.
Cold sample: Murky red color with no head. Spicy aroma with cherries and alcohol. Sweet flavor of cherry and spices. Medium-bodied. Nice. 7/3/7/3/14=3.4
Hot sample: Murky dark red. Aroma of cherries and spices. Sweet flavor of cherries, mild spiciness, light sourness and a bit of alcohol. Silky and oily mouthfeel. Really nice, a bit better than a cold one - the spiciness is more toned-down and it feels more round. 7/3/7/4/15=3.6

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours dark reddish brown, no head. Tried just a little bit cold, and that was pretty horrible. Much better when warmed up as it should, amazing difference. It was still very sweet, but better than expected. Lots of cherry and spices, excellent Christmas warmer. Reminds me of Glühwine and gløgg.

20 cl. warmed to 65 °C from 75 cl. bottles in a kettle @ Kerstbierfestival 2011: A: a, clear deep wine red with no head & some bubbles on the side – S: sweet cherries with a fruitier & sweeter version of glühwine – T: basically warm cherry juice, sweet with a small touch of warm wine & slight syrup sweetness – S: flat, slight syrup-like – probably has more in common with juice than beer taste-wise but it is yummy so how could I complain?

15cl bottle sample @ Kerstbierfestival ’11, Essen. No xmas without a nice 65° warm Glühkriek. Brune foncée, pas de col. Arôme des effluves de fruits noirs; cerises, le tout avec une belle vapeur et notes de tanins. En bouche, profile cerise bien prononcé, palais réchauffant mais restant léger, qcq notes de malt caramel avec ce petit profile aigre de cerise, le tout reste très agréable. J’aurais aimé y voir un peu plus d’épices de Nöel pour être vraiment dans l’ambiance.
