Bottle, from trade with Papsoe. A clear, copper-colored beer, flat as a pancake. Vinous aroma, spiced with cardamom, cinnamon and ginger it seems, and with some sweetness and faint notes of marzipan. Uncarbonated and full-bodied, with flavors of sweetness and spices. Sweet, spiced finish too. Overall, it’s probably a bit on the sweet and spiced side, but as a beery replacement for gløgg, I find it really nice. 090724
