Commercial Description:
And so the Three Wise Men set out from the East bearing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Along the Way, they follwoed a bright light. The Bible neglects to mention if they brought beer or not. Who goes crossing the desert without beer? How smart are we to believe these wise men were? Since Christmas is the season of gift giving more than receiving, please be a giver and share the Wisdom found in each and every bottle of our Gift of the Magi.

Bottle: The aroma is moderately fruity with brett and a hint of caramel. It pours a dark cloudy dull orange with a small creamy off-white head that fades to a film and large ring around the edges of the glass. The flavor starts with light caramel and light fruit. The finish has a nice brettiness to it along with a hint of floral hops. The alcohol is definitely noticeable and has a little burn to it. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. The carbonation along with the alcohol creates a stinging sensation on the tongue. Overall the alcohol is just a little too prevalent for my tastes.

Nice color but not the greatest head. Carbonation was mild, making for a soft and ruminating texture. Malt flavors are really rich and enjoyable. Toasted bread, raisins, figs, burnt maple syrup, molasses, and caramel-coated nuts. A grassy-piney bitterness follows, along with a nip of warming alcohol. Very pleasant and tasty.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours light hazy orange-amber with a creamy, off-white head. Nice duration. Aroma has some brett, cranberries, ginger, liqourice root, cinnamon, coriander and light hops. A firm, bready malt base as well. Good, creamy mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Flavour has quite a lot of liqourice root, caramel, chewy bready malts, some light chocolate and lots of dry pine hops. Super long, vinious, dry and bitter aftertaste. Very nice!

Thanks to Solan for the taste. Pours a nice orange red with a thick white head. Sweet candi apple, hop floral aroma. Taste is thick and malty with hints of cherry and a big spicy hop bitterness. Really nice beer.
