2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle 500ml.
Unclear medium to dark orange amber color with a small to average, frothy - fizzy and open, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, caramel, spicy, moderate yeasty, fruity, anis, a mess IMO. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, spicy bitter, very messy more like a home brews version of a belgium xmas beer. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20101207]

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
20-NOV-2010, bottle @Ekstra Bladets Juleølssmagning.
Light brown color, slightly unclear.
Very yeasty spicey nose.
Sweet, but not overly sweet. Perfect belgian inspired X-mas brew.
This is definately better than previous years...and certainly cleaner:-)
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
500ml bottle shared with Skinnyviking. Nice label design, as always with the bottles from Hornbeer. The content has a unclear brownish body colour topped by a creamy, beige head. Malt-spicy aroma. Sweet caramel in flavour mixed with spices and herbal dryness. Medium bodied. Rather unvaried and lacks the Yuletide spirit (hotel room, Copenhagen 07.11.2010).
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap. Hazy, dark orangey brown with a beige head. Sweetish aroma of brown sugar, Christmas spices and Belgian yeast. Full-bodied, sweet caramel, coriander, star aniseed and again Belgian yeast. Hardly any hops to balance the sticky sweetness. Many would probably consider this a "true" Christmas beer - to me it’s just a sticky mess really. 091110
