dark brown, smooth light brown head. aroma of malts and dark fruits, also some caramel. flavor is slightly roasted malts, bitter malts, caramel, faint bitter chocolate, kind of spicy, but also reminds me of not-so-well-done danish microbrews many years ago. sort of country’ish feel to it. sort of like a christmas beer with spices. still, quite tasty, and with a lot of flavor.

Draught at KØ14. Vinous, sweetish aroma. Almost black colour, clear red shine. No head. The flavour is sweet with brown sugar and a spicy candii note. OK try, but I would have liked more alcohol and sweetness for this style.
