Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear, reddish brown with a gigantic and frothy, creamy, beige head leaving a neat lacing. Geat looking beer. Spicy aroma, clove, cinnamon & orange peel - there must've been a mix up, this very much seems like the Xmas version. Medium body, subtle roastiness and again some Xmas spices although they're not overpowering. Very smooth beer, soft on the palate. Unfortunately again this rather annoying finishing bitter hop. 180522

Bottle 50 cl. Not an Imperial Stout as such, but an Imperial Stout flavored with Xmas spices. Pours an opaque dark brown with a beige head. Roasty nose with a licorice touch. Rich, solid body, again very much licorice notes and a hint of vanilla. The Xmas spices are lost on me to be honest. Again a somewhat sharp finishing bitterness as in other beers from this producer. Try changing your bittering hops, or use less of it! 070322

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a pretty, hazy, orangey brown with a beige head. Very neutral aroma, a very faint roasty note perhaps. Medium body, subtle hint of nuts and toast and a somewhat crude bitterness. A bit rough. 210222

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque nutty brown with a creamy and lacing, off-white head. Very pleasant aroma, toffee/caramel base with a slight hint of citrus. The body is surprisingly light considering the strength, obviously a very high attenuation here. A dry fruitiness with a solidly bitter finish. It's a matter of taste, but personally I would've loved some more residual sweetness - and perhaps some more aroma hops. But okay. 210222
