Dark brown with lasting thin head. Aroma and flavour have quite a lot of sweet spice. Tastes a bit like a winter cake with dark treacle and ginger. Liquorice too.

Pours an enormous frothy head. The smell of ginger blows into my face while pouring out the contents of the bottle. I can also smell cardemom and brown sugar. Sweet sugary flavor with cardemom and ginger. Pure chocolate, caramel and tropical fruit. Reasonably balanced in spite of the strong spicy character.

Bottle. Murky amber-brown with a dirty beige head. Gusher. Heavy carbonation. Some particles floating around. Aroma of dark fruits, vinous notes, spices. Taste is medicinal, vinous, coriander, tart dark fruits, moldy cellar, wood. Strange.

Ölföreningen julölsprovning 2014. Smak och doft av karamell, jäst, farinsocker, torkad frukt, rök och aska. Fruktig, viss syrlighet, lagom sötma, välbalanserad med fin beska. Mycket gott!

Flaska från beernavigator. En skumkaskad ur flaskan. Svårt att avgöra hur skadat ölet är. Hur som helst relativt syrligt vilket jag inte uppfattat att det skall vara. Också relativt rökigt vilket jag också blev förvånad över. Så i det här skicket närmast lik en lätt rökig syrlig rödöl. Och som det funkar den relativt bra men jag får köpa en flaska till och prova om det ska vara så.

One of Alvinne’s three Epiphany beers, this one made with four grains and three spices. Yellowish beige, creamy, thick foam (even some gushing when opening the bottle), quickly diminishing; colour a dark ruby brown with a wine-red glow, misty. Aroma of rich malts (chocolate and caramel), pear, plums, dates, bananas, old ’graanjenever’, cloves, coriander, cardamom, port wine, cinnamon; deep and rich multi-layered malt taste, sweetish with obvious spices (predominantly coriander), liqueurish finish with a light toasted bitterness reminiscent of a Scotch beer.
