UPDATED: FEB 27, 2012 From an old backlog. Bottle. Hazy brown colour with a tan head. Light caramel and a bit fruity nose. Moderate sweet caramel flavour, some yeast notes and light fruity.

33 cl bottle, batch # 83, best before 13.11.08 - thanks to yngwie. Brown reddish color, almost no head, just some beige bubbles. Aroma is very fruity at first, then the roasted malt takes over. Flavor is sweetish with roasted malt, and also has some bitterness. A bit thin, and not what I prefer for xmas.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. A hazy brown beer with a huge tan head. The aroma is acidic combined with notes of vegetables. The flavor is acidic malty with notes of caramel and vegetables. The body is thin.

Bottle at HogTownHarry Fest 08. Thanks to KnutAlbert. Green apple aroma, dark chestnut colour. Empty and flat. Not very good.

Bottle. Dark brown colour, very small head. Light fruity aroma with notes of roasted malts & caramel. Light, sweet taste. Can’t trace much of the hops. Pretty flat.

330ml bottle (bb.13.11.08) from Centra, Oslo. Unclear, dark brown body colour. Missing head. Light nose of dried fruits. Sweet dark malts in flavour added by a touch of bitter fruits. Watered. Taste like a light brown ale alright, but the brew has got a surprisingly lifeless and vapid character (Oslo 13.11.2007).

330 ml bottle [2007 version (batch # 83) picked up @ CC Mat, Lillehammer]. No head and almost no carbonation. Near-clear amber color. Faint aromas of ripe berries and sweet dark malts. Modest flavors of light sweet dark malts. Good hopbitterness. Light to medium body. A little watered down mouthfeel. Dry, light berry/fruity and mild bitter end. Due to the carbonation level, something’s obvious wrong with this bottle. Re-rate pending.

rbesg07, bottled. deep purple, beige head, musty aroma, hints of stonefruits, quite simple tasting, caramel with a faint acidity, pretty average

Cloudy copper. 1cm off-white head. Caramelly, pear-like, bready and litchi-like beer. The tropical fruitiness switches over to pineapple, but the bready caramel maltiness stays the core of the beer as soft gingerbread undertones show up towards the finish. A rather average, uncomplicated and quite thin Christmas ale.
