Amber beer of 7.5° plato. Special brew each year; original by the composition of the spices and yeasts chosen. The tradition was forgotten for a while and brought up to date by our brewery in the 1970s on the occasion of the gift made at Christmas for our customers.

(bottle, 75cl, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Cloudy, deep golden to amber colour with a collapsing slightly beige frothy head. Yeasty and distinctively spicy aroma with notes of ginger, cara-malt and a hoppy touch. Sweet flavour, medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Cara-malty, slightly sugary taste with notes of black tea, citrus and ginger spice; sweet and fruity malty finish with mildly spicy notes. A tad sweet but still a likeable brew. 10.XI.10

Draught in Strasbourg. Deep amber, with a lot of orange. Extremely fruity. Very sweet and fruity, but it’s got a lot of hops so it’s really well balanced. There are definitely things added to it, almost like fruit juice or syrup. It’s good. A sweet finish, very interesting. A good winter or Christmas Beer.

0.75l bottle, from enspirit. Clear glowing amber colour with a red touch, small but persistent off-white head. Fruity-spicy nose. Full-bodied with an intensive malty body, perhaps a bit on the sweet side, with lots of spices such as cinnamon, clove, star anis... also hintzs of orange zest, lemon and herbs. A shy touch of vanilla and honey might also be present. The sweetness is balanced of with some shy dry resiny hops blending in towards the finish. A very complex and interesting christmas beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear lively amber, rich head. Aroma of butterscotch with a touch of grass. Dryish, light and lively. Mild, yet complex with spun sugar, caramel and some grassy hops. Feels very genuine and posseses a soothing, laid back quality. Subtle excellence!
