3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draught at Ølbutikken, 1 Dec. Colour was very muddy and dark brown like, with a creamy off-white head. Aroma was very spice and pleasant. Smooth mouth feel with notes of Star Anise and liquorice root as some of the six spice ingredients. The combined spices gave me an experience of chewing gum essence, but in a nice way. Very refreshing and mild and pleasant sweet. Medium bodied with a sweet spicy finish. Very drinkable beer I must say.

Dark amber color with a average size beige head. Sweet and all to spicy aroma and taste. All too spicy/special for my taste.

hazy, redish amber with a small off-white head. Spicy with malty tones. Herbs, spices and sourness. Medium body with a metallic finish.

Bottle, 50 cl: Unclear red amber beer with a frothy slowly dimishing off-white head. Aroma is malty and spicey with notes of caramel, licorice, rosemary, lavender and pine. Flavor is moderate sweet and slightly bitter. Spicey yet smooth. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is (too) soft. Not my favorite kinda beer, but a nice flavorful, dry, rather long lasting finish.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Unclear reddish brown with an off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel and very spicy - ginger and cinnamon. Flavor is rather sweet and light bitter. Sweet and spicy finish. Too sweet and spicy to be really good, but it’s an ok beer. 250309
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
En krydderöl som är lite brungrumlig och tunt skum. Innehåller hyben och rosmarin.
Svag doft, smaken också lite tunn, men man känner lite kryddor i alla fall. Aning söt, men en helt vanlig ale utan att den slår mig med häpnad. Kanske en liten smak av kola. Inget särskilt spännande.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy brown pour with a thin offwhite head. Strong aroma of spices, including oregano, with some sweetness. The flavor is mostly spicy (again, oregano) and sweet. The body is light to medium with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Interesting, but it’s not a beer I would try again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Short-lived small mango-yellow head over red-brown beer. Very spiced nose, only cloves, maybe cinnamon recognisable, cacao powder. Dry-bitterish, again very spiced flavour, mulled wine herbs. Impression of sweetness, but again as if from spices as liquorice or ripe banana, rather than sugar or malt. There seems to be some acidity hidden beneath. Medium bodied, seems to be thinned as the acids, medium carbonated. End of bottle is solid yeast. It doesn’t get really further than the spices. Balance is OK within the spices, but not really within the beer.
