Bottle 50 cl. Pours a hazy amber with a lacing off-white head. Very spicy cardamom aroma. Medium body, sweet caramel and fruits, a little yeast – distinct chili bite if not exactly overpowering. No real bitterness. Interesting at least. 251211

flot juleøl, med masser af lækker smag, kardemommen og chilién meget gennemtrængende.... anbefales...

Pours a clear and copper beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, cardamom, green pepper and sweetness. The flavor follows the nose with additional chili. The palate is sweetness and spices. Overall a beer below average with a high level of spices.

Slightly hazy amber with a big and lasting white head. Strong aroma of cookie spice, with a touch of green pepper and chili, some caramel and fruit. Sweet malt, fruit and caramel flavour with abundant cookie spices and some real chili heat. A bit overwhelming spice, but hats off to the most extreme tasting Ørbæk beer I have ever tasted.

A flavourable beer. Spicy and a bit sweet. A good christmas ale. Redish in colour with a lasting white head.

Bottle @ Ølkonsortiet christmas beer tasting. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of malt, sugar, sweet fruit, spices. Taste is malty, sweet fruit, spices, warming chilli in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Not bad. 051111

Bottle. It pours a clear, dark golden body and a small, dense, off-white head. The aroma has cloves, cardamom and some ginger, strange considering it’s not containing all those spices. Not much maltyness going on. The flavor is too spiced and unbalanced. There’s nice spice flavors, but I don’t think it’s well integrated in the beer. Malts and caramel too, in the flavor. Spiced, chili burning finish. I ilke the chili burn, else it’s not very interesting. 111105

Bottle @ Ulfborg, Early Winter Tasting, 2011. Pours clear golden with a small white head and lacings. Cardemum and cinnamon. Hot.. from both alcohol and chili. Medium bodied. Dammn bland and one dimensional!
