Bottled. Dark amber colour with red hints, huge fluffy, longlasting off-white head. Aroma of fruits, spices and yeast. Flavour is spicy, malty, caramellish and almost acidic citrusfruit in finish and aftertaste. Some alcohol noteable, but not disturbingly. Wellbalanced, and smooth palate.

Bottled. Clear, heavily carbonating yellow-golden beer with an enormous, creamy white head. Lasts quite good and leaves nice lacings too. Weak aroma with citrus, yeast and some spiceyness. Fruity flavor with citrus, spices, alcohol. and hints of dried fruis. The alcohol comes stronger in the finish, but is present quite early as well. It has a fizzy and creamy mouthfeel and the finish last for a while, with spices, fruit and alcohol. Quite warming it is. A nice beer with too much fizzyness that probably hides some of the flavor.
