Flaske 0,5l fra Vinmonopolet, Tromsø Sentrum. Drukket i heimen 21 Nov 12. Mørk gyldenbrun med litt rødskjær. Høyt luftig skum som varer lenge og fester seg litt til glasset. Sparsom på aroma: Litt krydder. Lite kullsyre. Harmonisk smak. Julestemning med litt krydder og en anelse frukt. Blir litt med tung fruktig etter hvert. Likevel et forbausende lett juleøl. Uklar siste kvelling. Mye bunnfall.
