Thin white coarse head. Chestnut brown body. Sweet roasty caramel aroma with notes of metal and nuts. Deep caramelly nutty taste with metallic notes. Very reminiscent of Ruddles County, but more powerful in taste, and less bitter. (0.5l bottle.)

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Amber colour with lasting thin beige head. Bit of sulphur on the aroma. Bit of yeast before sweetish malt fruit kicks in. Decent peppery hop on end is dominated by full rich malt fruit. Very drinkable. Even with a hangover at 10.30 in the morning.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Jan) Amber colour with off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of orange, clove and orange peel. Fruity, malty taste with orange, chocolate and hints of clove. Surprisingly spicy beer with lots of christmas character. Different, but nice.

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned (?), ABV is 5.5%. Clear amber to brown colour, moderate head. Strong sweetish and hoppy aroma, notes of strawberries, blackcurrants, figs, caramel and Christmas pudding. Pleasant flavour with moderately sweet fruity notes, some biscuity notes and caramel too. Distinct hops throughout. Soft and pleasant mouthfeel. A nice Christmas ale this one!

A slightly hazy orange beer with a light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of English hops giving it a light spicy and floral note, to accompany the fruity notes. The flavor is sweet malty with fruity notes of oranges and peaches, as well as spicy, floral, and slightly dusty notes, leading to a bitter end. OK, but for a Christmas beer I find it boring.
