Draught@Black Door. Dark nut brown, murky, color and small white head. Glueish, plum aroma. A bit yeasty, flavor is plummy (plus raisin soup), brown sugary sweet. Alcoholic bite in the finish. Homebrew feeling.

Bottle 75 cl. Slightly hazy amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving laces. Medium body, a little fruit and yeast and somewhat overcarbonated. Surprisingly bitter finish. 291208

Hazy amber with a medium white head. Aroma had roasted malt, caramel and yeasty notes. Flavour was yeasty with floral hops malt and ripe fruits. Finished sourish. I like!

clear brown/amber, mild cinnamon aroma, thin tan head does not last long. Flavors of orange, cinnamon, raisins, maybe plum. Thinner and less powerful than most Christmas beers, but still very drinkable. Is the big bad wolf about to have his way with Little Red Riding Hood, with a 750 ml beer bottle, while a Picasso character watches.

(Draught at Hilpeä Hauki on 2008-11-07) Dark brown. Cloudy. Small white head. Hops, grass and fruitiness in taste. Full bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Hint of sourness, fruitiness, yeast, bitterness and sweetness in taste. Bitter and fruity aftertaste.

Bottled at Kerstbierfestival 2007. A brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy with light notes of cinnamon. The flavor is sweet spicy - primarily cinnamon and cloves. The finish is dry.

75cl bottle. Pours unclear amber with a creamy white head & lacings. Nose is spicy & yeasty. Medium palate & mouthfeel. Overall quite spicy & herbal with some hoppy notes. Little citric & metallic. Enjoyable - yet still very forgettable!

Pours with a largish, rocky, off-white head covering a deep amber-brown body. Aroma of orange blossom, candi sugar, yeast and lemon. Taste stars slightly sour, then changes to lightly spicey, followed by a burnt malt taste and a slightly nutty and bitter aftertaste. Kind of boring if you ask me. Lively bubbles paired with a dry mouthfeel.
