Bottle. Amber color, offwhite head. Leather aroma,a bit strange and not what I want from a beer. Spicy leather flavor, some fruits, maybe some caramel.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is distant with some dark fruit and caramel malt showing up but its really faint. Flavor is some brown sugar and nuts with a bit of malts but nothing really stands out. I did not care for this one to much.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle shared with Veitafan. Pours a clear reddish brown colour with a small beige head. Careful aroma of some wood, leather, malt, rye bread, dried fruit and hint of chocolate. More pronounced flavour of the same but with a fruityness that feels a bit belgian. Nice. Has a slick mouthfeel, and a light bitterness. A balanced and good Christmas ale.

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear very deep red with a nice thick frothy fine creamy beige head. Extremely fruity aroma, lots of sherry, dried fruits, some nuts, a hint of citrus, it does kind of smell like trail-mix. Tastes just like fruit-cake, dried fruits, a bit nutty, quite sweet, a fair amount of sherry, brown sugar, caramel, plums, floral, buttery. Really interesting but not for me. Tastes like laundry detergent, too perfumy.
