Oct 29, 2006 loudy orange with tan fluffy head. Aroma of figs, dates, raisins, cotton candy, and just general sweetness. Flavor was very sweetly malted with notes of dark fruits, raisins and plums...a very nice Christmas beer.

Sep 10, 2006 Updated: Apr 1, 2008Draught from Paradise Beer Weekend. Smashing Christmas beer from one of my favourite breweries. I’ve enjoyed it on many, many occasions (and currently possess an obscene collection of 75cl bottles), but this is my first taste off draft. Beer notes are nearly illegible, but will update from the bottle sometime soon. Dark, clear amber in colour with glorious creamy head. Aroma and taste of liquorice, dried fruits, heavy spice, rum, and all things that remind you of the festive season. Velvet texture - absolute luxury for the tongue. Smooth, loooooong finish. Just Mmmmmm. Words do no justice. The King of Christmas!!!

Aug 14, 2006 A spicy dark winter brew with a bitter finish available in bottles and also (if you’re really lucky) on draught, I think it was better on draught but it might just have been the company I was keeping!!

Jul 27, 2006 Transparent dark amber with only a ring of bubbles. Leaves great lacing though. Tons of spice up front, almost minty, couldn’t really pinpoint. Flavor again is dominated by spice, mostly mint and licorice, but not in a bad way. Nice malt backbone, shows through fron time to time. Looking at my notes curious as to why I gave this a 4.1, so se a re-rate coming if only for a better review.

Jul 23, 2006 Updated: Dec 31, 2006Dark ruby, big, creamy off-white head. Intense aroma of spices and licorice - or is it just a whole lot of anise? I don’t know why I haven’t rated it during the winter, but stored through the summer (and quite some heat - but tonight was a worthy occasion). By now, it’s a bit one dimensional in all its anise glory.
Fresh rating: Yes, it’s supposed to have that much anise...
