Bottled. A deep red beer with a tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel and spices - cardemomme and cloves, but also notes of alcohol. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of caramel and spices - cardemomme and nutmeg, combined with notes of alcohol, leading to a dry very spicy and somewhat alcoholic finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Clear, fully golden with a white head. Intense aroma of yeast, fruit and alcohol. Very full-bodied with lots of malt, spices, yeast and alcohol. A very flavourful and satisfying beer with a warming, alcoholic sensation. 110507

Bottled. Clear golden, airy head. Grassy nose with yeast induced esters and fruit. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel and a firm maltiness. Warming with restrained malt sweetness. Quality all the way throug to slighlt salty finish. Somewhere raspberries fits in. I could never have guessed this beer is 10.5%.

75 cL bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a thick off-white head. Light spiced towards plastic aroma. Flavour is sweet and with yeasty phenol notes. Mild caramel malt base. Something with the phenol notes disturbs me - not good.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow / amber color with a average frothy good lacing mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, hoppy anfd yeasty, alcohol, fruit and spices. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. Smoth and easy to drink ;o))

Bottled (thanks diabel!). Golden colour, mediumsized big white head. Aroma is malts, some alcohol and glue along with a bunch of spices. Flavour is alcohol, some malts, hops and very sweetish notes along with spices. The yeast becomes more evident as the beer warms up, and some caramelly notes make it a bit more fullbodied.
