UPDATED: OCT 30, 2011 Bottle, at Ølfestival 2011. It’s an unclear, brown beer topped by a decent sized light beige head. Roasted malts, oak, vanilla, chocolate and a touch of alcohol on the nose. Roasted malts, chocolate and coffee, oak, some vanilla hints and a nice hoppy bitterness in the flavor. Some resiny hints. Full-bodied, warming and dry. Ummm, nice... Rating: 7-3-7-4-15-3.6. 110527
Bottle. It pours a clear-looking dark brown body and a dense, beige head leaving some lacings. Rather roasted nose, with a pleasant rum scent and some notes of alcohol. Sweetness, roasted malts, dark rum and some spicyness in the flavor. Licorice too. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. Lasting finish with lots of pleasant dark rum and some dark sugars. Well, not your average Christmas beer, not in my book at least, but a damn fine one anyway. 110819
