0,5 l bottle. Pours copper amber with small off white head. Aroma of spices cinnamon , some malt and caramel in the background. Taste is medium sweet and low bitter. Flavor is all cinnamon. Finish is long, not really pleasant spicy cinnamon bitterness. All cinnamon, boring and downright unpleasant finish.

Bottled (from KCM Kivihaka Vaasa). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cinnamon and ginger with some mild floral and bready notes. Flavour is floral, gingery and quite a bunch of cinnamon. A bit thin, but still quite mellow and easy to drink.

clear orange to bright amber colour, minimal creamy ecru head; aroma of caramel or rather speculoos, some vanilla, hints orange, maybe nutmeg and biscuits; well balanced bittersweet taste with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; correct one

Bottled 500ml (KCM Puuvilla, generic Winter Star label)
Orange-amber colour, small off-white head. Christmas spices, nutmeg in the nose. Light-bodied. Decent bitter base with pale malts and UK hops. Then ruined by Christmas spices: nutmeg and cinnamon. Neh.

Bottle, 0.50l. Aroma of coconut, citrus, cinnamon, flowers and cereals. Pours cloudy amber color with medium sized frothy tan-like head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts with medium sweet caramel malt, coconut and cinnamon, following is grassy and earthy bitter with slight medicinal note, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is pretty astringent. Light to medium body, creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Spiced up holiday gift...
