75 cL bottle. Pours deep maghoni brown with a slight off-white head. Spiced, slight liqourice and slight herbal note. Flavour starts sweet and soon gains a distinct spice note I cannot make out, slight herbal. In the background a mild annis seed note is present. Some dried fruit notes appear just before the finish as the initial sweetness slowly disappears. A solid malt base beneath. Ends somewhat dry and herbal.

Aug 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown/dark amber aolour with a thick off-white head. Aroma is dark fruits, spices, malts, caramel, hops. Mouthfeel was thick and soft and just plain lovely. Flavor is very x-massy and sweet, with, again, dark fruits, spices, anis, liquorice and alcohol. Very good.

Feb 12, 2008 Bottle, 8%. Yeasty marcipan aroma, sweet and powerful. Clear brown colour, small tan head. Good malty flavour with a nice level of alcohol/pepper. There is also some dried fruit and tobacco. I like it, but it is not exactly well-balanced.
