This deep mahogany red strong ale is a classic example of a winter warmer that’s high in alcohol and rich in taste. An excellent balance of malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness, gives aromas of Christmas cake with hints of black treacle and vine fruits.

Bottle from Wholefoods. Dark brown body with a faint beige head that quickly fades. No lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, dark fruits and a hint of spice. Flavour of caramelised sugar, brown bread and a suggestion of Christmas pudding. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. A nice warming beer for a cold winter’s night.

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 03.01.2009
Aroma is somewhat spicy with ripe fruits, caramel and toffee. Flavour is spicy with toffee, ripe fruits, licorice and caramel. Once again too strong on St. Peter’s house flavour, but not bad still.

Easily the best ive had from this brewer. Smells very malty with some definite smoke. Pours dark brown with decent hecad, lacing. Syrupy, thick consistency. Certainly some booze hanging around the aroma as well. Aftertaste is a little sweet and a little oaky bitter. Well balanced, but a little too syrupy for my liking. Bottle.

Flaske 0,5l fra Alko Muonio. Dyprød/svart med et høyt, litt farget skum. Drukket hjemme 10 Des 12. Ganske tett. Varer en stund. En god & svakt krydret aroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken er litt karamell & litt røyk. Innholdsrik. Litt syrlighet i avslutninga. Gjennomgående lakrispreg, KI=6
