Very dark ruby colour, small white head. Milk chocolaty, roasted malty aroma. Toasted malty, cold coffee flavour, quite weak palate, not far from Daleside’s Chocolate porter, but not as smooth. Long roasted malty aftertaste.

Bottled (BBE 10/2007).
Clear dark golden/light amber color, small creamy head. Skunky, slightly toffeish-malty aroma. Metallic, woody hoppy, decently malty for this ABV. Good bitter aftertaste with oaky and toffeish notes.

Cask@BeerHunters, Pori. Copperish brown colour, smalloff white head, which lasts for quite a while. Aroma is flowery hops and slight fruity notes. Flavour is flowery hops, fruits, slight caramel, hay and some honey. Also some weird flavour I really can’t describe too well, but it is to the sweeter side. .

Amber brown color, decent firm off-white head. Flowery hoppy nose. Faint body, starts quite weak and slightly sweet. Then moderate bitterness rises in the aftertaste. Underlying sugars or honey there too (not diacetyl, like some other ratings claim). Ok session beer, but not very XMasy though.

Cask gravity at Pig’s Ear. Amber colour, no head. Good aroma on this with some toast. Bit of diacetyl maybe. Bit medicinal. Needs better hop.
