(500 ml bottle, batch #365. Rated @ 13.11.2009.)
Black colour with a massive brown head. Loads of chocolate, caramel, spices and roasted malts on the nose. Very christmassy aroma. The flavour is stout-like with it’s licorice, dark chocolate, and sweet fruits. Alcohol warms in the end. Dry and hoppy finish. Great beer for the holiday season.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour basically black with a tan head. Smell is rich, bittersweet malt, cocoa. Taste is similar and more like a thin bodied porter with an added very subtle, but well blended spice component. More chocolatey and dark with a faint spice perhaps. This is actually very enjoyable. Some definite sweetness, but it is a bit bitter and dry enough in the finish to make it easily drinkable. One of the better beers from them, actually and not a style I typically am crazy for.
