750mL bottle, pours a near-black with a medium tan head. Aroma of Xmas spices, burnt caramel, some burnt cocoa and some charred malt. Flavour follows the burnt aromatics, with burnt molasses, some sherry-like oxidation, burnt caramel and a bit of a smoky quality. Quite heavy, burnt and somewhat spicy. The burnt qualities work well actually. Great stuff.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. My 1600th rating, yo ho ho. Deep dark brown pour with a fading yet persistent muddy tan head. Sweet candy nose of dark fruit , xmas cake, and booze. Creamy, slick mouthfeel. Rich boozy and warming .Great festive sipper for sitting next to the christmas tree with the rain lashing against the window. Essence of the season.

Bottled, from Systembolaget, Stockholm. Hazy dark brown, rich head. Chocolatey spruce aroma. Sweetish with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with milk chocolate, spruce needles and fudge. Warming finish with sticky caramel. Well hidden alcohol. Lots of flavours, but nothing subtle.

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Licorice and pit fruit aromas. Hot with dark chocolate covered pit fruit and soy upfront turning to juniper in the lasting bitter earth finish.
