Mar 28, 2009 750 mL bottle. Saw this, love Mikkeller, bought it. Pours a dark brown color with a small head that disappates quickly. Smells of orange peel, some cinnamon, a few fresh hops, and chocolate. Tastes of dark chocolate (perhaps cocoa), a bit of cinnamon, and a hint of orange (though much less than the smell). Goes down quite smoothly, though you can tell that when it warms, the alcohol will come out more. Overall a good Mikkeller beer, though I would have rather had it around December 25th, not March 28th.

Mar 27, 2009 Didn’t even know that this beer changes each year. I’m getting the 11 percent. Very strong. I can’t remember for how long I have had this. Still lots of carbonation. Malty and with caramel. Good sweetness. Maybe some cherry in the aroma. Bit of chocolate. Nice.
