Jan 29, 2009 Bottle: The aroma has lots of chocolate with moderate spice, fruit, and light smoke. It pours a dark brown with no transparency and a moderate beige head that lasts a minute or so. The flavor has lots of chocolate up front with some light roastiness in the background. The finish is moderately spicy with some light orange peel. Medium-full bodied with soft carbonation.

Jan 28, 2009 bottle at Ft Wayne locals tasting - Pours very dark brown with a thin light tan head. The aroma includes spices, dark fruit, malts, and some alcohol. The flavor is an enjoyable blend of sweet malt, spice - especially cinnamon - and dark fruit that leads into a pleasantly bitter finish to a full bodied brew. The aroma isn’t quite what it could be but the flavor and overall impression really tie it all together. Superb.

Jan 27, 2009 Bottle shared by nquals @ the Barrios tasting. Poured black with a creamy tan head that left good lace. Fruity aroma with some alcohol, licorice, and spices mixed in. The flavor has chocolate, molasses, and cinnamon with a nice backing of hops. Medium body with a big malty aftertaste.

Jan 25, 2009 750 mL bottle at the Barrios Nashville tasting. Poured a dark, ruddy brown color with a three finger tan head that quickly dissipated. The aroma was dark fruit, anise and some alcohol. The flavor was heavy with dark fruit, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon and a bit of warming alcohol in the finish. The palate was above average, with a silky mouthfeel, soft carbonation and a medium/full body. I was pleased with this beer, as I am with most of Mikkeller’s brews.

Jan 25, 2009 Bottle from Nqualls at Barrio’s tasting. Pours a murky brown with a tan head. Aroma is unique, as I pick up a melding of sage, orange zest, and anise. Medium to full bodied with a nice, rich earthy mouthfeel. Flavor of dark wheat malt, pine, brown sugar, molasses, and cinnamon. Some yeast and alcohol on the finish. Enjoyable holiday brew.
