An Imperial Porter made with Amarena cherries and cherry puré. Only released in 75 cl bottles.

There are so many myths and tales surrounding Christmas that we feel it would be a good deed to clear up a thing or two. For instance, many people mistakenly claim that the Christmas tree was invented by a plastic company somewhere in South East Asia around 1950. But that's all bollocks. It happened in the 17th century already and the plastic factory wasn't in South East Asia, but in Riga, in the Baltics. Also, we hear tales of big, red and very delicate glass balls being used to decorate the tree, when in fact those are huge, Italian Amarena cherries spiked with vodka and LSD - made to help calm moms and dads with many small kids and get them through the Christmas days...

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours cloudy very dark brown with airy tan head. Clear aroma of coffee, yeast and chocolate, with notes of malt and touches of cherries. Bitter, roasty flavour with sour-sweet notes of cherries and touches of malt and yeast. Bitter, somewhat boozy aftertaste with touches of yeast and cherries. Warming alcohol presence. Reasonable but rather boozy, despite the relatively low ABV for the style. The carbonation could be higher, too.
