Bottled. (BB 050607) Hazy amber color, with an off-white head. Hoppy fruitiness and malty aroma. Malty flavor with both light roasted and sweet elements. Easy-drinkable like a session beer, even if it is 6.0% ABV. Long-lasting fruity bitterness in the finish. This bottle is 2.5 years old, I think it has matured a bit, as I remember it to have a little more sting. Rating: 6-3-7-4-15-2.5. (061112)

Bottle. It pours a slightly hazy amber body with a decent, creamy, beige head. Nice lacings. Malty and hoppy aromas blend nicely, giving roastyness, some caramel, and citrus and green pinecones. The flavor is hoppy up front, with citrus and pinecones, supported by a roasted, caramel maltyness. Fine bitterness lingering. Some sweetness too. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. It rounds off with a balanced maltyness and bitterness. Easy to drink and well-tasting. (090216)

This dark brown sweet chocolately malty brew came across too wimpy, especially after having several of their other beers before this.

I guessed this was a coconut porter without reading the description (Japan might be the only place where coconut porter is not all the rare). Now I realized I mistook vanilla’s perfumy qualities with coconut. The nose erupts with vanilla with only a faint hint of chocolate. Sweet malty mouth of vanilla and a milk chocolately finish.

Dark brown color. Pine combs with a touch of citrus in the nose. WOW. A mouth full of pine, christmas cake and jagermister. Overpowering? Yes, but never the less the finish is like sucking back a whole Norwiegn forest. Definetely not for the weak of heart

This is my favorite Christmas beer from these guys. Dark brown color, milk chocolate, caramel. Sweet full bodied malty chocolatey mouth with christmas spices with a touch of nuttiness. Mildly sour, dry finish that somewhat tasted like beer mxed with scope.

Bottled. Dark brown, almost black, with a medium sized tan head. Roasted aroma with coffee, chokolate and a littled fruitiness. Roasted coffee flavor with some chocolate. Quite dry, roasted finish, yet with some fruityness. Definately not to be rated at fridge-temperature. Rating: 7-4-7-4-14-3.6. (060103)

Bottle. It pours a next to black body, quite clear, with a tan head of moderate size. Chocolate, coffee and roasted malts in the aroma. Coffee being the most evident. There’s some hoppy aromas in the far back, giving a slight touch of citrus-peel. Full-bodied, mellow and nicely carbonated. Dry on the palate, yet with a sweetish, chocolatey flavor. Coffee, heavily roasted malts, citrusy notes and some alcohol too. In the far back there’s some licorice and dried fruits. The finish is shared masterly between hoppy bitterness and bitterness like that found in coffee. Medium duration, but the base flavor of the beer rests in the mouth for a long time. The alcohol is also blending in. Considering it’s 7% ABV, it slides down dangerously easy. Lovely with some chocolate. (090216)
