A great X-mas brew. Extreme taste of cardamom. This beer is the incarnation of christmas in a bottle. Great beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a wonderful deep red-brown that turns to a playfuly ruby red when held against the light. A medium-sized lightly tanned head settles to a a thin foam layer, leaving some lacings. Now, the aroma is something you wouldn’t expect from a beer. It’s like smelling the dough of ginger bread cookies, spiked with a ton of cardamom. Taste is a mix of that dough, spices and hearty caramel. It is VERY sweet, but I think the sweetness plays well with the other flavours. I really like this, but I’m a sucker for ginger bread dough too. Coming in a 500 ml bottle, it can get too sweet in the long run so you might want to share it.

A red-brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is totally dominated by cardemomme. The flavor is sweet and very spicy, with cardomomme being most dominant.

Bottled. Vedry dark amber colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma very strong cardamom, which pretty much covers it all. Flavour is Cardamom, with maybe some cloves in it. Ginger bisquits (pepparkaka in swedish) is very describing. Extremely nice Christmas beer, though I am not sure if this can be called beer. What the hell, it’s Falcon, and the best I have had from them so far .) Cardamom and caramel in aftertaste. I loved this .) Superb Xmas season thing!

500 ml bottle. Clear. Dark reddish brown. Strong smell from cardamom. Mmm, Christmas. This a beer, yes beer, with a lot of spices in it. It is surprisingly drinkable, with cardamom clearly being the dominant spice. Sweet body, with some dryness from the spices. Excellent with Christmas fare.
