First ratingRated feb 4, 2006, but under wrong name, moved to the correct one. [Sinebrychoff Jouluolut IVA - Can 6.0%] I like my Christmas brews to be dark and strong with lots of spices, to show that it comes only ones a year like a kick in the face. This one is very far from it. There’s nothing wrong with it, but there’s nothing special either. It was dark and had some malty scent and taste, but the alcohol showed off a bit.5/3/5/3/9=2.5Rerate33 cl bottle thanks to Ingo! At ekstedt’s x-mas beer tasting, on December 14, 2012.BB 20.03.2013.Clear brown color, tan head. Sweet, malty, hoppy scent. Malty, apple, sugary taste. Medium mouthfeel, low bitterness.5/3/5/3/10=2.6

Bottled. Reddish brown colour, big foamy head. Metallic sweet aroma with alcoholic hints. Maltyness and hoppyness, quite a boring "xmas beer", which actually down’t give any exceitements. One-dimensional and I would almost say "typical Finnish crap" of this one...

Bottled 2004 version (BB 04/2005)
Nice amber color and cloudy off-white head, lace. Typical sharp metallic Koff-nose. No Saazer-hops found here. Malty with attacking harsh alcohol flavor with light sugar notes. Long bitter (and harsh) aftertaste. Unbalanced.

Another clunker from Koff. Jackson put this in his book? Mild character, has a little more oooomph than the III, but similarly bland and vaguely caramelly.

One thing you can say about this beer is that at least it looks good! Nice amber colour, huge head wich leaves a beautiful lace-work in the glass. Drinking it, however isn't such a great experience. Faint, neutral aroma. The only flavor that you really notice is a hint of alchohol.
