Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet wtih strong notes of ginger and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of ginger and cardemomme as well as medium notes of caramel, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Dark chocolate, raspberries and dark cherries dominate the beer, but virtually no head and flat carbonation distract from what could be a great beer. More CO2 in bottle would have brough this beer to life.

Hazy amber colour. Piney, minty, grapefruity hop nose. Moderate bitterness is herbal and earthy. Dry, woody finish. There’s balancing caramel throughout. A well-structured, highly drinkable brew.

Deep amber golden color. A thick, syrupy brew with candy sugar, caramel, hazelnuts, milk chocolate strawberries all over. An absolute splendid Christmas warmer!

Pitch black color. Intense nose of dark fruit, berries, bittering chocolate and toffee. Starts much more sour than expected with some berries, caramel and bitteriing chocolate. Sourness works quit well. Warming alcoholic finish with plums and dark chocolate. Intense stuff.

Pitch black color and the nose erupts of .... melted margerine, dark chocolate and black currents. Med-mouth, rich creamy margerine and black currents. Way too lactic for anyone to appreciate.

Beautiful dark amber-mahogony color. Smoked chedder cheese and caramel in the nose give hints of the off putting mouth, which adds some butterscotch flavors. Potential to be great.

Pitch black color. Light brown head. Coffee, treacles,molasses and toffee notes. Very nice. However, the body is thin and unbalanced with dark fruit and chocolate cake. Chocolately finish. Starts nice, but goes nowhere fast.
