Bomber. Snowbound. Aroma is that of spice and malts. Flavor is sweet, malts, chocolates, and spice, though the spice flavor was a bit lighter than I expected.

Hazy dark amber color. Aroma of mild chocolate spices (cinnamon) and sweet oranges. Medium body strength, with malt, a lot of sweet caramel, mild chocolate, gingerbread spices, a touch of orangeses, reasonable bitterness. Quite balanced Christmas ale.

Wild aroma, spicy with nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves up front, ginger if you focus. Brown sugar. Flavor kinda weird. Herbal funky, with a strong twang in the finish. Strong nutmeg and ginger on the palate is dusty and borderline repulsive. Strong and nearly un-beerlike. Dark earthy malts are there but you just don’t seem to notice anything but the spices. Gives me a shudder as I continue to make my way through this. Body is thickish, with fluffy carbonation that doesn’t manage to ease the finish on this one. Ruby brown color with smallish head that fades fast, almost no lace.

(Draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Dark brown, with very little head. Medium body, lots of spices, definitely cinnamon and ginger. Tastes very much like swedish ginger biscuits. A bit on the sweet side for my taste. Very "christmasy". Definitely worth a taste.

Draught. Dark ruby colour, small foamy beige head, lacing. Sweet redwineish fruity nose. Flavour is kind of strange fruity, with hints of olives. Might the the clove combines with something else which makes the strange mix. Long spicy aftertaste. Christmassy indeed.

Dark ruby, small off-white head. Spicey strong aroma (cloves). Sweetish, christmasy spicey (clove also here) flavor. Long spicey aftertaste. Quite ordinary XMas-brew.

A dark amber beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of ginger. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and ginger. Definately a christmas beer - and OK.

Grandma's Spice cake here as a beer! Ginger. It wants just a little more body to balance some of the spiciness, but it's a pleasurable kind of beer to have one or two of during the winter months. This one is a little more different than most and worth a try.

Bottled. Dirty orange brown. Cinnamon aroma. Rugged malt profile, medium body, big gingersnap flavour. Medium bitterness. Liquid cake?
