Bottled. Dark dark brown colour, almost black, with a rocky head. Aroma like a sweet stout. Grainy malty, with a chocolate backbone, with accompanying mint chocolate, nougat, nuts and a light, elegant touch of un-named spices. Really nice! Mouthfeel is really rounded, bit sweet as it ought to be, with rye bread lingering, followed up by nutty chocolate and an overall feel of chocolate malts, finishing with nougat again. The mouthfeel is smooth and perfect and fairly sweet but far, far from sticky. After is all about nougat and chocolate and lingers nicely with a touch of bitter chocolate. This is the ultimate beer for the Yulebord.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2011 Bottle. Hazy dark brown/red with an off-white head. Quite a big aroma with chocolate, fruit and roasted malts. Taste: chocolate, licorice, berries, some knäck, rather sweet, and it also has an acidity to it. A bit above medium-bodied with a somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. I remember it as even better on draught last year, but still definitely one of my favourite Christmas beers this year.
