Dark brown. The aroma has some spice, and a bit of orange, with a touch of chocolate. This has a lighter body, a touch of orange, with a bit of spice maybe.

Proper Xmas vibes now ?? sweet and light roasted malty with lots of sumptuous oozing chocolate, interlaced with orange zest, almost orange liqueur like notes going on, full bodied, orange peel, dark sweet malty lingering finish. Lovely, works for me.

Bottle from Mr. Hop. Aroma is roasted malt with dark chocolate, orange, cocoa, touch of sourish espresso, more roast. Medium sweet flavour with a moderate bitterness. Body is above medium, lacking the thickness I've come to expect from Nerdbrewing. Still quite good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with very little head. Aromas of vanilla, chocolate nougat, and slick roasted malts. Flavors of chocolate fudge, vanilla, a little orange peel if I think about it, and rich roasted malts. Nicely balanced; not too sweet.

330ml bottle. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, frothy, dark tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, orange and light alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet and liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate orange, boozy alcohol bitter palate and an oily mouthfeel. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
