Smell of spices, pepper, gingerbread. Muddy brown colour, brown head. Aroma of gingerbread, hops, herbs, some malt in finish. Too gingerbread-y. Bitter. Flat carbon. Dry palate.

Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, chocolate, spicy, allspice - clove - nutmeg. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration, sweet malt, dark malt, spices, allspices - clove - nutmeg, there is a cake spice maybe cinnamon, light spicy bitter.

Bottled at PBF XII. Dark brown, mid sized head. Distinct aroma of nutmeg and cloves. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Toasty with cinnamon and cloves, notes of coffee and orange. Low bitterness. Pleasant, if perhaps heavily spiced.

Dark brown colour, small off-white head. Strong star anise, licorice aroma. Light-bodied. Cinnamon, star anise, toasted flavours. Quite watery but nice clean Christmas beer.
