"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?"

50cl bottle- Dark golden in colour with a white head. Hoppy, peachy aroma. The taste is mildly hoppy and bitter with a nicely balanced malt and hop aftertaste. Quite a good beer and very drinkable for the strength!

ambrata schiuma forse eccesiva ma persistente note di malto e meno di luppolo in bocca corpo discreto malto finale amaro pulito e delicato

Pours light amber into an English pint. Fluffy white head with good retention leaves spot lacing as it recedes to coat surface. Caramel malt aromas. Crisp with sweet apple upfront and a lasting slight hop middle to a bittersweet finish.

1/2 liter bottle from Bevmo. Aroma of light caramel, a bit dusty, some light fruit. Amber color with tiny bubbles and a beige head that did some lacing. A bit thin bodied; the carbonation is a bit sharp. As it warms in the mouth there is caramel, bread, floral, apricot or peach, perhaps tea. Lightly sweet. Light bitter is present. The many flavors add up to an interesting brew. The finish is more dry than not, and the floral hop builds a decent level of bitter.

50 cL bottle. Pours golden and clear orange with a diminished off-white head. Slight ashtray and slight fruity aroma. Soft maltbase and a hoppyness that gives a slight soapy flavour and feel in the finish. Quite fruity. Ends with a nice malt sweetness and mild bitterness.
