330 ml bottle. Deep dark amber colour. Really small off-white head. Roasted crisp bitter maltiness. Quite dry. Leaves a drying sensation. Surprisingly dry for a Christmas beer. Some hop bitterness in the finish.

Medium beige head over dep dark red body with carbonation. Light sweet milky caramelly aroma with alcohol and earth notes. Roasty, slightly burnt licorice taste with acidic, bitter background. Dry, roasty aftertaste. Not that much taste, really. Good, but kind of boring. (0.33l bottle.)

In the cellar for 5+ years. Brown with an off white head. Carmel and bread aroma. Sweet carmel and bread flavors. Nice smooth finish. Has held up fairly well.

If you like bready malts with lots of caramel on top, then grab an Aass. This one poured a translucent brown color with a small head that thinned immediately. The lacing was weak. Aromas of cherries, yeast, bread, and caramel. Caramel was the bulk of the flavor with breadiness, light yeast, and spices underneath. The finish was somewhat thin, acidic, and bitter. An interesting concoction, but not my cup of tea (or beer).
