12oz bottle from a farmers market in Barcelona. Pours a clear, caramel amber with some bright white, lacing head. Nose has a lot of christmas spice, heavy clove, some pepper, some fruit cake, dried cherry, some crystallized ginger. Flavor is sort of the same, there’s some malt, a little specialty grain like rye or maybe even some triticale, but then the spice takes over, heavy clove, heavy candied ginger, some white pepper, dried cherry, a little prune, some caramel, a little carrot cake. Boozy, spicy finish. Messy.

Draft at BBF. Hazy dark amber color, medium tan head. Aroma of mixed spices. Taste is spice heavy as well, coriander, cinnamon, nutmeg.

33cl bottle at El Estribo, Madrid. Pours hazy brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, spices, dried fruits and alcohol. Fruity, malty and spicy with a dry finish with some bitterness. Quite well balanced. The spices reminds me a bit of Fernet. Not a favourite, but decent beer. (2012-08-15)
