Can, at Ølfestival 2011. A clear, amber beer with a small, light beige head. Sweetish aroma with some pale malts, fresh and dried fruits. Malty sweetness in the flavor, with fruityness and some caramel. Decent bitterness showing up towards the end. Medium body, dryish. A quite decent traditional Danish style Christmas beer. Rating: 5-4-5-3-11-2.8. 110527
Can. A clear, dark amber beer with a small, beige head. It’s lighlty spiced on the nose, with dried fruits and an almost oxidised touch. Some sweetness in the mouth, but quite dry, a bit hard on carbonation, medium to full body. Caramel and dried fruits flavor, with some bitterness chiming in after a while. A quite decent, Christmasy beer. 110820
