Bottle Dark amber colour with an off-white head. Sweet and round malty aroma with plenty of hops. Wood-like. Flavour has a nice, wellbalanced hoppy bitterness. Taste of licorice

Bottled. Amber coloured. Malty aroma with notes of caramel. Sweet and malty flavour. Rather light bodied. Should have stayed with their regular christmas brew.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, pilsener golden with a creamy, white head. Lightly floral, hoppy nose. Medium body, dry and dominated by hops. A bit German style. Thanks to Katja for importing this from Bornholm when it wasn’t yet readily available in the rest of the kingdom. 271105

A hazy orange-brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma contains notes of caramel, esters, and a dusty hop note - could be Goldings. The flavor is pretty much like the rest of the Svaneke beers - no mistake could be made, it is sweet with strong notes of caramel and esters from warm fermentation of a lager. I really can’t find anything Christmas about this beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy amber golden with a warm, underlying orange glow. Huge and frothy off-white head that only dissipates very slowly. Malty, caramelish aroma. Rustic and somewhat artisanal touch. Sweetish malty yet with a faint underlying tartness. Hops do appear to add a bitter finish. Not bad, just a bit flawed and inharmonious. 201105

On tap at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Coppercoloured with a brown head. Hazy. Sweet malty aroma. Belgo-sweet with spices in flavor. Bitter finish. Rating: 5-4-6-3-13-3.1. (051029)
Bottle. (2006 vintage, maybe 2005) It pours a clear, copper body under a minimal beige head. Bready malts, caramel, a wee touch of coffee, a note of dried fruits and a starting oxidation in the aroma. Quite pleasant. Fruity flavor up front, soon assisted by bready and caramelly malts, a tiny touch of oxidation and dried fruits. Quite sweet, but not too sweet. It gives a little impression of spicyness towards the finish. Strange, but after a while, some alcohol warmth spreads on the palate. Quite effervescent. Sweet, caramel finish with a fine touch of bitterness. It bears the age quite well, and I’m no longer angry with myself for letting this one be forgotten in my cellar. (090126)

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 2005. Maeib tried to teach me how to pronounce the name, but I still can’t get the hang of it. Black beer with lasting beige head. Really, really, really chocolatey with some butterscotch. Quite good in mouth. Nice dark fruits. Bit over the top, but nice to sip

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 2005. Very deep chestnut coloour with thickish beige lasting head. Some stilton on the aroma (either that or the cheese had started to waft by then). Some brown sugar with more stilton and some sweet alcohol. Not a bad finish

Dark amber color; big creamy head. Very nice aroma, malty with notes of milk chocolate, cocoa beans, burnt sugar. Medium body structure, but fairly good balance of malt, caramel and bitterness. Some mixed caramel and bitterness in the palate. Very enjoyable Dunkel.
