Pours a deep reddish copper hue with a fleeting, bubbly beige head that practically disappears in seconds. Aroma is rich and complex; strong tones of caramelized fruits (plums and raisins), intermingle with a boozy undertone. Solid malty, bready and spicy profile in the flavor; practically like a liquid spiced raisin bread and Christmas pudding rolled into one, the sweetness curbed by a mild alcoholic heat in the finish. This is a great example of the style and once again showcases the mastery of this brewery.

Pours a reddish copper brown with some white lacing. Discreet aromas of malt, fruit, banana. More lively on the tastebuds, lots of licorice, more banana, dried fruit and some herbs. Nicely complex. Some booziness on the finish works just fine in this kind of beer. I liked this one.

0.5 l flaske kjøpt på vinmonopolet holmlia. Brun mørkrød farge med litt skum i kanten. Gusher,Mye kullsyre , sprutet ned hele kjøkkenet i det jeg åpnet flasken. Smaker malt,karamell,honning,rosin,plomme,kanel,kardemomm Veldig lettdrikkelig. Kunne gjerne hatt enda litt sterkere alkoholprosent for å få en varmende alkoholsmak på toppen.
