Clear dark golden, offwhite head. Malty, hoppy aroma. Malty flavour with a light chili note. Well, the ABV is nicely hidden and the chili is well controlled. Ok drinkable.

500 ml bottle @ Fox and Hounds, Aabenraa. Slightly unclear golden body with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is mild malty and dominated by ginger and cookie spices. Flavor is totally dominated by chili, some cardamom, Christmas cookie and light malt with low bitterness. Medium body and burning chili aftertaste. OK for the chili burn, but not even close to balanced.

Bottled 500ml (vPBF)
Slightly hazy orange color, small white head, lace. Strong Christmasy "pepparkaka" aroma. Medium-bodied. Christmas spicey, caramelly, nice chili burn in the aftertaste - otherwise too much cardamon.
