26/12 A 0.33 l bottle from L’Espumossa, Barcelona. It poured lovely, hazy darker copper body with big ivory head. Sweet fruity and caramel malt aroma. Flavor was also sweet, caramel and fruits, some lactic notes and maybe touch of herbal hops. I couldn’t detect anise spice. Full, cloying body with long, sweet, caramel and a bit chalky finish. Although I didn’t like it as much as Marko did, it was certainly a very nice winter beer.

2012 vintage. Huge thanks heavy for bringing this from Barcelona! Poured a slightly brownish amber-red with a small off white head that went away slowly. Lovely fruity-spicey malty peach jam & plum nose, just lovely, some coffee-like roastiness, light caramel. Wow. The taste is nicely malty, carrying some light roastiness and is every bit as pleasant as the nose, fruity aromatics galore from the spice and the hops I guess, interesting bitterness, some orange rind. Wow... just wow. Shame early incarnations of this bring it down so much, this is a brilliant winter beer that deserves more recognition!

Bottled at El Estribo, Madrid. Hazy mahogany colour, small head. Interesting spicy nose with lingonberry and wormwood. Vinous, yet dry with medium body and clean mouthfeel. Complex and really spicy with a mild warmth. Well balanced, tasty and with real character. Went exceptionally well with the free cheese offered by the bar owner.

Year 2008; brewed with star anis
Cloudy amber color; generous head. Herbal aroma. Some sweetish caramel flavor, and again a bit of soapy spices. Unfortunate.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing light tan head. The aroma has notes of over-ripe fruits, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as some notes of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.
