madsberg (4377), Bangalore, India Oct 30, 2006 Draught 2006 batch. Golden/amber coloured. Unclear. Off white small head. Light christmasspiced and fruity aroma. Flavour has some cloves and orangepeel mingled with fruits. Vague herbal notes. Is medium bodied. Ends on a light fruit note. Not bad but compared to other of the christmasbrew a bit bland and uninteresting.

Clear reddish brown colour with a medium off white head. Spices, hops and caramel in aroma. Hoppy and spicy flavour with a short aftertaste. Average xmas beer. fiulijn (6010), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Oct 5, 2008 <i>Draught at Cockney Pub, Århus</i><br />Hazy amber color, creamy head. It has a grassy, manure aroma. Good body, quite smooth too; but the flavor, besides the caramel and some cinnamon, is also metallic, with ashtray-like burnt malt and too strong bitterness. Wrong.
