This limited-edition winter brew will make its debut in October, but this winter celebration ale is worth the wait. Malted barley and chocolate tones define the traditional style, while the robust aroma and long, mellow finish will make this the perfect companion for your holiday adventures.

Bottle 330ml (Stockmann Tallinn, brewed? 09/2013)
Clear copper color, small off-white head. Ryeish, grainy aroma. Medium-bodied. Caramel, ryeish maltyness, crisp with some spicey hoppyness. Short aftertaste. Simple and clean, no faults as such, not very interesting.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Clear amber body with a thin off-white head that quickly fades. No visible carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of nuts, metal and caramel. Flavour of lightly roasted malt, honey, stewed tea and a slightly sour (but not unpleasant) metallic tang. Faint spice. Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Nice fizz. Quite sweet. My first Doppelbock, quite nice too.

Pours nicely reddish-amber, quite clear with a small and steady head. Aroma has some caramel, a bit of alcohol bite. Aroma is somewhat sticky, reminding a fruity Belgian red ale. Taste - softly sharp. You can feel some mild and subtle fruit notes but at the same time hop bitterness is quite high, alcohol biting as well. Caramel and bitter herb candy. Aftertaste is also slightly bitter, lasts for a while, burning your tongue. Tried to pair this with pork, worked quite OK.

Pours dark copper colored with a smooth white head. Aroma of bready malts, sweetish syrupy notes, caramel and toffee. Taste is sweet, sticky and caramely with notes of syrup, cardboard and toffee. Finish is sweet, sticky and a bit stuffy with some bready cardboardy notes. Feels a bit off.
