WillieV (191), Maryland, USA Jan 15, 2008 750 ml Bottle: Poured a very bubbly dark brown with a small off white slight brown head. Slight citrus scent to it. Flavor does not hide alcohol at all. At times seems a bit overpowering until you get used to it. Carlus12 (361), London, Greater London, England Jan 15, 2008 Bottle @ Beer Circus Nov’07. Pours dark copper colour with slow fading head. Aroma is earthy / grassy / dark fruits . spices. Taste is sweet / spicy / dates & dark fruits. Pretty complex but definitely enjoyable. KimJohansen (6645), Copenhagen V, Denmark Jan 14, 2008 Dark brown with tiny head. Sweet malty aroma with overripe fruits and yeast. Flavor is sweet with roasted malt, overripe fruits and spices. Warming alcohol in the end. Good balanced. Rune (2744), Tromsø, Norway Jan 13, 2008 750ml bottle topped by a cork and a wire cradle shared at a New Years party in Tromsø. Big shot and smoke when opened. Deep dark brown body under a light brownish head. Sweet aroma of fruits and malt. The flavour is filled with xmas spices and candy sweetness added by yeasty notes. Powerful, but rounded palate (thanks to Esben for providing the bottle) (12.01.2008). MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Jan 8, 2008 (25cl bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a big and lacey off-white foamy head. Sweet, slightly dusty and roasted malty aroma, bready with spicy notes of anise, cinnamon & thyme. Bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied according its abv; moderate, slightly fizzy carbonation. Moderately roasted malty body with strong spicy notes from the beginning, that leave not much room for other flavours; slightly bitter and spicy finish with a fairly good alcohol management. Way too spicy and unbalanced, thus very overrated stuff. brigg (213), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Jan 3, 2008 (bottle) A dark brown body with a small, disappearing brown head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a small hint of alcohol. A more subdued flavor than I expected, but that makes it very smooth and drinkable. Dark fruit, sweet and (slightly) sour ale flavor with an more alcohol in the finish - but not too much. Medium bodied.
