Apr 2, 2007 A Mes rate: 50cl bottle at Chris O’s extravaganza. Mid cloudy brown with a creamy off white head. Spicy liquorice aroma with notes of alcohol and strangely, coca cola. Flavour is more of the same with quite clear alcohol and more spice and cinnamon and general christmassy stuff. Nice and soft in the mouth. A proper yuletide beer and something a little bit different.

Feb 10, 2007 Bottled. A dark brown coloured beer with a purple hue and no head. The aroma has licquorice and aniseed together with fruit and caramel. Quite subtle nice smells rather than too over powering. The taste has all of the above but there are notes of clove also making it truly Christmassy. A lovely tasty beer with a great mouthfeel and no extreme flavours at all.
