2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Jeez the beer. Smelling something weird and strange. Tastes not so good but after a while, still a little good taste. The aftertaste is boring and is not as long.

aroma is malty sweet alcoholic berrylike. appearance dark orange white foam which dissappears quickly.
this isn’t bad and the aroma is really interesting but overall mediocre.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma and flavour have plenty of bay leaf, ginger and clove. Clean aftertaste.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Light amber, hazy, small to average and fully diminishing head. Moderate and sweetish aroma, herbal spiciness (ginger), berry fruitiness. Body is average and sweetish flavor with herbal spiciness, berry fruitiness. Finish is average and sweetish, lots of Xmas spiciness. Spiciness + beer = no not work for me.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Shared bottle. Pours pale golden with a white head. The herb aroma hits the nose at once. The same goes for flavor. A heavy focus on sage in this beer. An interesting beer to try out, and now i’m satisfied...
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear amber colour with a crispy head that sank down, but was much more durable than the FlyingDog version. Aroma with something similar to hops. Also malt, some rosted caramell, herbs and something perfume-like. Taste of malt, berries, herbs, some spices (but no strong flavours), some caramell sweetness and some hints of alcohol. Some small kind of bitterness is apparent. Fruity and easy to drink. OK body (maybe a little watery but still OK).
The "winner" according to me.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: NOV 28, 2012 .33l bottle from BD webshop.
Pours clear amber with medium head. Aroma is lots of herbs. Some malts, berries and fresh birch leaf. Flavor is very herby and some malts. One can taste Finnish forest. Pine, birch... Some berries and clear alcohol taste. Not bad beer, but very complex to rate. Somehow the aroma is a bit better than flavor.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a slightly dark honey color with a small white head. Aroma has lots of berries with some malts. No hops in the aroma. Taste is sweet and fruity with some doughy flavors. Alcohol not noticeable. Some of the flavors are a little weird. The aftertaste has lots of blueberries with some cheese and bread. Overall it’s interesting, but definitely not an IPA. More like a blueberry summer beer.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Color amber with mini white head. Aroma malt, spicy, sweet, perfume, caramel. Taste heavy sweet, spicy, ginger, perfume.
