COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Il patrono di Arcidosso è San Niccolò, che nella mitologia nordica ha ispirato Santa Klaus. Questa è una birra speciale, scura ma leggera, aromatizzata alle spezie da consumarsi nelle serate invernali, fresca (8-12°C) o calda (40°C) con aggiunta di chiodi di garofano o cannella a seconda dei gusti personati.

Bottled at Amiata brewery. Reddish-brown with beige compact head. Good nose, taste of caramel, nuts and spices, still quite refreshing for a christmas beer. Well blanced, not acidic at all. Good winter brew!

LordCorkscrew (1758) - Ronco Scrivia (GE), ITALY - SEP 25, 2009
Aroma acido piuttosto pesante, di guasto; il carattere della birra si percepisce appena appena in fondo all’acidità che la domina. Malmessa, da riprovare un giorno ma solo con la sicurezza che stavolta sia buona

Maria (8571) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 9, 2008
Blind tasting @ Yespr. Dark, red-brown with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of apples, basement and slightly roasted malt. The flavour is sweetish with notes of sour citrus, hints of orange peel and perhaps cinnamon? It seem very weird and out of balance.
