Bottle, heated to 45°C, from the brewery shop. Aroma is like a mulled wine: wintery spices, herbs, ginger, cardamom, gingerbread man. Body is warming, a little boozy, strong. Quite nice, actually, but the spice mix is clearly a matter of taste.

Oily looking opaque black beer. No head. This beer is all about the spice. Cloves and cinnamon dominate. Some fig and prune underneath. Fairly neutral palate. Goes down easier when served hot but doesn’t taste any different from it being cold.

Bottled (fridge/roomtemperatured.)tt Deep ambery brown colour, small off-white head. Aroma is cinnamon, cardamom, some sweet maltyness as well. Flavour is almonds, cinnamon, cardamom and some sweet notes. 6 4 6 3 12.
Same bottle at approx 70-75c warm. Quite much brown to pitch black colour, no head. Aroma is sweet malts, mild spices and some fruityness. Flavour is spices, alcohol, some glue as well as mild liquorice (in a bad way). Not that pleasant when being warms, loses all the "touches" in it.

Bottled 750ml (PBF)
Served cold. Dark opaque black color, no head. Cardamon, cinnemon and cherry in the nose. Ryeish, unpleasant cherryish-cardamon spicey flavor. ==> Warmed up: Nose is gone. Sweetish, ryeish, chocolaty, roasted flavor. Interesting. Couldn’t finish the bottle alone :)
