Bottle, from the source. A quite spiced one, star anise seems to be the star of the show, followed by cloves and ginger. Lightly roasted, with licorice and burnt notes. Lacks a bit on body, as expected from a beer this strength, and I find the spices to be a bit unbalanced, again, probably due to the ABV and body fullness. But overall, a decent brew. 646312 251226

50cl bottle from Cunningham - thanks a lot! Same bottle as Cunningham, but now with less carbonation, but still a bit fizzy mouth feel. Pours hazy brown with a small, white head. Mild malty aroma with Christmas spices dominating. Fair enough. --- Beer merged from original tick of Toftebrygg on 05 Aug 2020 at 21:21 - Score: 5

Oh holy Madonna…..this one really wanted to get out of the bottle A lot of it ended on my table…..not in my glass It is so fizzy that it is hard to say something wise and clever. Hazed dark golden pour with a damned big head Aroma ehh hmm lots of caramel malt A quite decent sweetness Toffee, fruity and some spices in the flavor Would maybe been quite ok with a normal carbonation level [Bottle from The Brewery]
