50 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty and dry caramelish. Mild fruity, dark malty and caramelish. Light wineous and liqourice. Spiced and dark malty. Roasted and caramelish finish.

Bottle. Pours a deep copper body with a small white head. Nose is oranges, wood, vanilla, hints of caramel and deep malts. Taste is red berries, caramel, oranges, deep malty tones and hints of vanilla, aniseed, licorice and faint traces of rum. Mellow carbonation and smooth mouthfeel, perhaps a bit less lively than desired. I don’t know exactly whether I prefer the original or not, but they’re both good Christmas beers in their own ways: the regular is more present and in-your-face, the BA is smoother and definitely more complex. Good stuff.

Clear amber of color with an off white head. An aroma of spice, malt, sweets and weak sour. A flavor of malt, spice, sweets, oak and low carbonated.

Bottle at ØlKonsortiet. Amber pour, small to no head. Aroma is very sherry-like, dark fruits, figs, fudge, oxidation, the yeast profile is very nice and warming, notes of oak and vanilla. Excellent aroma. Taste plays on the same strings as the aroma, but adds a slightly sour-ish oaky touch and a good deal of oxidation. Everything seems to play together very well, and this was perhaps the biggest surprise of the day.

Bottle @ Ølkonsortiet christmas beer tasting. Pours clear ebony, no head. Aroma of malt, anis, sweet fruit, plums, nuts, wood. Taste is malt, sweet fruit, anis, wood, plums, some tartness. Medium body, low carbonation. 051111

Bottle, courtey of Enjoyit. A quite flat one, hazy, brown in color. Just a rim of off-white bubbles on top. Spices, caramel malts, some oak notes and a citrusy touch in the aroma. The barrel-ageing has removed much of the spice aromas and flavors from this one, leaving a beer that’s mellower. Smooth, full-bodied and slightly warming. Caramel, some dried fruits and a roasted touch as well. Not bad at all, but I think I prefer the original one. 110129
