3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
I think that the circumstances under which this beer were tried would greatly influence my rating of this beer. As it happens, I think that I enjoyed this beer within the perfect setting-- in front of a warm fire, Christmas tree lit up beside me, Christmas songs playing in the background, Scrabble game with my wife. Pours a clear copper amber with a yellow, sponge-toffee head that is surprisingly as short-lived as it is dense. English toffee, bourbon, wood aroma. Flavours of toffee, brown sugar, with a sherry touch to its character and a definite subtle kiersch flavour in the finish. Very warming but nat at all harsh, sweet but not cloying. A perfect winter sipper, and along with the circumstances, I enjoyed it very much!

Light brown colour and clear. Has a white head, medium duration. Aroma of caramel, bread light. Malty too. Heavy to harsh sweet flavor. Syrupy texture.
2.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
UPDATED: JUN 4, 2003 Nice lively pour with a white/off white head of fine bubbles. It has an clear amber body with a fruity aroma. Initial taste was not one that I preferred. It had an acrid flavor with carbonated bubbles rising off my tongue. My feelings are that I don't much care for this brew.

Strong beer that reminds me of the Danish ’47’ beer. Nice smooth and ritch flavor, with a bit of bitter ending. Can’t drink to much of this beer. Good to share with a friend...:-)
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber color with no head. Aroma of malt and raw barley. Definitely reminicent of a barley wine. The alcohol is not hidden at all; two medium sips burns a hole in you. There’s just not much to entice my taste buds to dance.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear copper kettle color/ fleeting ivory foam. Rich dark bread, sweet spicy fruit cake aromas. Medium bodied with average co2. Sweet dark bread flavors with raisons, pit fruits, sweet spices, boozy warming finish--good
2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Aroma of caramel and chocolate malts and some alcohol. Quite above expections, I have to admit. Clear, amber coloured beer with an off-white, not-lasting head. Taste is sweet and more bitter towards the finish. caramel and chocolate. Tons of wodka. Sticky. Taste is unbalanced.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
33 cl bottle from Voldby. Clear amber/red with small diminishing off-white head. Flavour is malt, sweet, caramel and notes of alcohol.
