General impression: it has lots of spices, but is still well balanced, and manages to cover up the lack of alcohol. In general, the spices battle each other, and they are are christmas-like - at least in combination. So overall, it is impressive that they have managed to create this without proper fermentation and alcohol. But still, it is a bit more on spiecy side like a gløgg, than a Christmas beer.
Bottle from autumn 2020 drunk nov 2020; and another bottke drunk dec 2023 that gave same impression (bf=14.08.24). Cinnemon and coreander seeds are toned down a bit, leaving the stage to ginger, cardamum, and cloves. Interestingly, it had a robust 'infection ring' inside the bottle neck. It does not appear to be infected, so i suspect som spices in the bottle. Besides, there were lots of dregs in the bottle. So they may add some spices dry to the bottles or just before bottling?
