Fiery orange pour, with a small rin of soapy lace - citrus and floral aroma that explodes out of the glass, with some grapefruit pulp tanginess and underlying caramel malt - nice, bracing bitterness up front, which returns in the finish, bookending the experience - in between, biscuity malts come to the fore briefly, and some earthy citrus rinds/pulp - a very mild caramel sweetness keeps the hops in check - slightly tangy and quite spicy on the back end - well done.

Bottle. Beautiful big brown head with excellent duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are roast malt with lots of xmas spices. Actually too many xmas spices and not mix that I like at all. Not a good balance.

Pours deep brown into a Trappist glass. Mocha-colored head recedes to hug rim. Pit fruit and dark caramel aromas. Smooth with sweet caramel and a dry prune finish.

Bottle. Creamy lightbrown excellent fully lasting head. DArk brown colour. Modera

Dark reddish brown, nearly black in color, with a dense, brown head - semi-tart, tannic aroma of grape and cherry skins, dates, brown sugar, mild spice - a nice fruity tartness starts things out, then comes the dark fruits in the way of plum and raisin, then a candi sugar, caramel and chocolate sweetness comes along, bringing with it an alcohol warmth and notes of brandy-soaked fruits - some bittersweet chocolate maintains a presence throughout - a nice progression of flavors, and quite a nice beer for Christmas.

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown/black with dense mild chocolate brown head. Orange fruity and chocolate malty aroma. Flavour is sweet and citric towards a light acidic note. Delicate chocolate malt base with fruity hops on top and a solid fruity flavour from berries and oranges. Ends with a mild chocolate and berry flavour lingering into the finish.

Draught at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen, 6-3-7-3-13=32
Black color with brown hue. Good body structure, well mixed flavors, but nothing exceptional, some caramel, light chocolate, very light roasted malt…

Draught at Plan B, Copenhagen
Black color, thin head. Is it a porter, is it a stout... it’s anyway brewed as usual with good skills, but it’s no my style. Good balance, a lot of dark caramel, some roasted malt and chocolate, spices, light liquorice, light cardboard feeling. In the end I say: Stout!
