Hazy dark amber color. Good mix of spices in the aroma. Malty, mellow, spicy, extreme Christmas beer, but very pleasant for me. Ends with chewy caramel and fudge as well.

Bottle@Criterion, Leicester. Dark beer with a strong head. The aroma is heavily malty and the flavour is malty and syrupy. Overall a great beer.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A hazy red-brown beer iwth a huge brown head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet and very spicy, I can only pick out cinnamon, but there is much more I can’t put names on - but no matter it tastes good. The end is dry with a slight alcohol bite. A very pleasant surprise.

Bottle: Poured a deep opaque brown color ale with a huge dirty white color foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma is comprised of candi sugar and doughy yeast with maybe some subtle note of maple syrup. Taste is a mix between candi sugar, doughy yeast some dry fruits and subtle maple syrup. Body is full with some great carbonation and no alcohol was detectable. I must admit that I enjoyed that one even though the maple syrup was not overly dominant.

Darker brown almost black coloured beer with an average off-white to brown coloured head and little carbonation. Chocolate roasted light sweet sour caramel touched aroma. Full light sweet sour palate. Finish is nicely balanced, sweeter caramel creamy touched with some speculoos and cinnamon touches. Nice one.
