3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 14, 2007 (On tap) Unclear dark brown with an orange glow. Delicate, creamy, fine structured, beige head - almost Guinness-like and velvety. Unfortunately it collapses rather fast. Very fruity aroma with some refined esters of almonds and marzipan. Very soft body with notes of citrus - mandarin - but at the same time a warmer, more christmasy flavour structure of dried fruits and honey. Lightly vinous finish almost without any bitterness. You also get a glimpse of some burned notes from the dark malt. The warming alcohol is present, but yet deceptively well hidden. A bit low in carbonation, but the brewer promises, that this will be fixed. A very promising and christmasy brew, yet light and very quaffable. 271005
(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a hazy, orangey brown with a dense, yellowish head. Spicy aroma with some licorice. Medium body sweet notes of fruit - oranges in particular - spices and also dried fruit. Unfortunately there’s a vague, underlying tartness which I don’t believe is intentional. 7/3/6/3/12= 3.1 090507

Bottle. Hazy, orange-brown body, with an off-white head. Sweetish nose, with caramel, a little sourness and some alcohol. It’s nice, but a bit anonymous for a Christmas beer. Flavorwise it is much the same, it is quite sweet and caramel-ish. The orange-peel and licorice was undetectable. Medium body, a bit sticky in the mouth maybe, but for a belgian-style ale, that’s ok. The finish has a peppery, hoppiness, but not so much bitterness. Quite nice, especially the finish. (070913)

Bottle. Bought @ Høkeren, Cph. Pours a deep mahogany red with a medium, fizzy off white head. It disappears quickly. Aroma has roasted caramel, quite a lot of oranges (giving the aroma a somewhat citric and tart sourness). Medium carbonation. Flavour is yeast-centric with general sweetness from chocolate and some roasted malty dryness. Long, lingering aftertaste with some cardboard, chocolate, roasted malts. The liqourice is almost non-detectable. Well, it is an okay beer, but rather uneventful.
