3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Deep golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt, hop, spices. Flavour is malt, hop, spices, caramel. Full bodied beer. Nice beer, but could be more.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. A deep red beerwith a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and fruit. The flavor is sweet with quite strong notes of fruit hitting at first, but then comes notes of ginger and cloves, leading to a dry spicy finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle, 75cl corked. It pours a deep golden body under a small, off-white head. Candy-like sweetness on the nose, with caramel anddried fruits. Subdued spicyness. The spices are more evident in the flavor, but far from dominating. Dried fruits and sweetness too. Full-bodied, quite decent beer. Also quite boring, but somehow I like it, and wouldn’t refuse to have it again. (090116)
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Light amber color with a small white head. Sweet aroma with a light malt, caramel and a faint spice note. Sharp malt body with a pleasant bitter finish. Sharp light bitter palate. Rather plain.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Wood and anis and a hint of cherries in aroma. Golden amber colour with small beige head. More bitter than I would have expected. It takes a while to differentiate the cherries, but once you have discovered them. they are occupying the flavour together with just a hint of anis.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Amber, no head. Spicy (vanilla), wooden nose. Light citrus and herbs, a bit roast, a bit peppery. Light body, fizzy. Light sour retronasal. Not terribly exiting I thought.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
75cl bottle. Amber with no head. Sweet dark fruits, syrup and caramel. Medium to thin palate. A lot of taste for a carlsberg. Very sweet.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2008 Cask. Mahogany brown with medium head. Aroma spicy, malts and fruits, very christmaslike. Taste Malty, dried fruits and sweet. A nice and undeserved low rated beer.
Tasted it on bottle as well, that was very disappointing. Is it really the same beer ? It wasn´t worth more than the average score. I keep the cask rating.

Cask: Clear, amber with an off-white 2 fingers high head. Nose of spices and fruits. Sweet flavour with spices, caramel and malt. Medium bodied. Ends up more dry. An all right x-mas brew.
