Toffee brown, medium-bodied, with a creamy head and an aroma of raisins and freshly baked dark bread. Mild Winter’s rich caramel malt and spicy rye flavors are sure to take the bite out of whatever Old Man Winter brews up for you this year.

Bottle. Bready malt and dried fruit aroma. Amber color with minimal head. Slightly sweet dried fruit initially followed by a moderately strong rye bread malt flavor. Nicely blended. Love the rye flavor that comes out in this - a great beer.

From and with ogivlado, thanks! Lovely deep amber body, medium, thick off white head. Grainy nose, notes of raisins. Bitterish nicely dark-bready taste, maybe raisins again. Notes of orange rind. Ok enough, likable beer.

funny how these geese keep stickin their head up around here periodically. from a bottle pour is looking like darker iced tea. thin head does not fade. rather flower sweet aroma, but never cloying. taste is first almost palatable then rides you like a leather bronco. some creamy caroub chocolatey thing at times. more like a lower alky beer than 6% would indicate. goodly co2 keeps this interesting. finish has a tad of some some unrefined slagginess.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm, 13 Dec 2011) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dark bread, dark fruit, prunes, raisins and slightly spicy yeast aromas. Malty, fruity taste with notes of chocolate, caramel, dark fruit and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, slightly sweetish. Quite enjoyable.

355ml bottle. Pours a dark brown/toffee colour with a red hue in the light. There is a steady fine mousse and a generous head. The nose is nutty, creamy and malty. The taste has toffee and ginger biscuits, The palate is medium bodied with a creamy and tangy texture and a dry, quite bitter finish. Overall, this is not bad and seems to be somewhere between a bitter and an eighty shilling in style.

A dark brown beer with a almost medium and beige head. Aroma is roasted, chocolates, lots of sweetness, syrup and some fruits. Taste is roasted, some chocolates, low bitterness that is slightly woody. Medium bodied and slightly rough to drink. Balanced, easily enjoyable beer without fails, but slightly boring.
