As in the Belgian tradition of brewing Christmas beers, this is our very own version. It is added with orange peel and raisins. The aromas are warming and captivating and swing from nutty to citrus and slight hints of honey. Mouthfeel starts with caramel and honey flavors and lead to cherry and currant flavors with a delicate bitter finish.

Amber color, hazy, with not much head. Nice malty aroma, sweet, with light spicy and fruity touch (oranges, raisins, light vanilla). Round mouthfeel with low carbonation; sweet caramel flavor, with relatively low bitterness, nice alcohol warmth.

Hazy color, dark amber to brown; medium head, not persistent. The aroma is malty, light wood, pepper, sourness, mold, vegetables. Strong body, strong caramel flavor, sweetish, nuts, alcohol, wood. Quite strong bitterness. Confused.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, wild berries, caramel, fudge and spices (nutmeg?). Malty taste with dried fruit, chocolate, caramel and spices. Slightly toasty. Moderate bitterness. Medium body, slightly sweet, with alcohol well hidden. Wouldn’t suffer from a little depth, but still a nice beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy amber with small head. Lactic fruity nose. Sweet and medium bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. There’s apricot and lime as well as syrup. Mild and drinkable depsite it’s high gravity, but it lacks depth.
