"Bartender, if anyone calls, I'm not here, right? Every year it's the same nightmare, hauling that over-sized, red-suited endomorph all over kingdom come, up to my shivering haunches in snow and muck! You call him a Saint? Slave-driver, more like. Going down in history is all well and good, but what about the here and now? My therapist says I have to start doing things for me for a change. It's about time I had a Merry Christmas myself, don't you think?"

Bottle. Very over priced for such a bad beer. Color was copper in color with a nice head. Aroma was pickled barley. Taste, straw, very bitter but the nasty kind of bitter.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso l'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. La carbonazione è praticamente piatta. Il colore è ambrato scarico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Il tetto della bocca porta impressioni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, luppolo, agrumi e affumicato.

Bottle from HOTM. Clear brown with small white head, some retention. Aroma of malt, brown bread, some toffee, raisins. Taste of malt, light caramel, plum, grassy hops, alcohol. Medium bodied, nice level of bitterness in the finish. Plus points: very drinkable while being warming at the same time, decent finish. Not so good points: lacks some depth and is unremarkable.

Delt med EgilB. Mørk stråfarget. Klar. Lavt tett skum som daler sakte. Lett krydderaroma. Smaken appelsinskall. Parfymert. Tørr avslutning. Ikke særlig julete.
