Malt and holiday spice aroma. Moderate balanced taste with a nice spice finish. Reminds me a bit of a pumpkin ale. Good for a holiday.

Pours a darkish red/brown. Aromas of spice, coriander, yeast, and alcohol. Flavor has an alcohol taste to it, mixed with a nice smokey dark fruit. Also has strong hints of spice and orange.

Prokroustis (428) - Thessaloniki, GREECE - OCT 28, 2011
Deep red colour with a creamy off white head. Sweet malty aroma with a lot of spices, notably ginger. Flavour has a lot of spices as well, along with cerial and caramel. Strange but not particularly impressive.

bottle@Kulminator: dark mahogany, big beige Alvinne head, sickly sweet, medicinal, liquorice, toffee, churned caramel malts, rotting leaves, fermenting dark fruits, all kinds of revolting spices, old cellars, tastes like it went bad during the brewing process, bit of an abortion, not sure why they released this, still doesn’t taste infected or at least not badly

Kåstå (1221) - Mol, BELGIUM - OCT 18, 2011
Bottle best before April 05. Dark amber body with a small head. Sweet ginger and liquorice aroma and taste with plenty of molasses. Now six and a half years after best before date it has matured very well.

Countbeer (1933) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - SEP 29, 2011
Bottle: Big airy darker off white head on top of a hazy ruby red colored beer. Smell toasted sweet sticky malts, oatmeal, yeast, barleys, sweets, hint of raisin. Taste medicinal, roasted sticky malts, barleys, molasses, hint of honey, nuts, bitter, sweets, straw. Bitter malty barley aftertaste. Medium carbo, medium to full body, soft mouthfeel and a light watery light sticky texture. Strange brew.

gwpom (285) - Akron, New York, USA - SEP 24, 2011
Appearance and aroma are very nice, but as was mentioned, very carbonated, which diminishes the palate.
