(On tap) Unclear dark brown with an orange glow. Delicate, creamy, fine structured, beige head - almost Guinness-like and velvety. Unfortunately it collapses rather fast. Very fruity aroma with some refined esters of almonds and marzipan. Very soft body with notes of citrus - mandarin - but at the same time a warmer, more christmasy flavour structure of dried fruits and honey. Lightly vinous finish almost without any bitterness. You also get a glimpse of some burned notes from the dark malt. The warming alcohol is present, but yet deceptively well hidden. A bit low in carbonation, but the brewer promises, that this will be fixed. A very promising and christmasy brew, yet light and very quaffable. 271005 (Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy, orangey brown with a dense, yellowish head. Spicy aroma with some licorice. Medium body sweet notes of fruit - oranges in particular - spices and also dried fruit. Unfortunately there’s a vague, underlying tartness which I don’t believe is intentional. 7/3/6/3/12= 3.1 090507

(On tap) Dark brown with a warm, reddish glow and a small, creamy beige couloured head. Light aroma of roasted malt. Very roasted flavours with weak notes of coffee and a dry late bitterness. Weak underlying caramel sweetness. Quite pleasant light porter. 140905

(On tap) Hazy, slightly muddy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Light roasted, caramelish aroma. Loads of wonderful fruit esters on a soft and very malty background. Short, dry, bitter finish. Quite wellmade with a somewhat rustic "homebrewed" touch. 230805

(On tap) Hazy orangey golden with a small, creamy head of a very fine structure. It collapses rather quickly though. Low carbonation. Weak floral aroma. Lovely fruitiness on the base of a rather light body. Dry, short bitterness - but not an overpowering one. I miss some more potency and some real ale/IPA hops instead of Saazer. As of now this has too much of a Pilsener feel. 230805
