3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
It looks tempting in the glass, smells chrismassy (not right for th beginning of May) but is quite okay on a sunny spring day as well. The aroma lingers for a while; the flavors are a bit confusing, can't really classify it but the essence is positive.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber color; generous head. Original aroma: malt, caramel, light wallnuts, chocolate. Good body structure, quite dry: malt, some caramel, light wallnuts; getting sweeter at the end. Quite bitter palate (with some caramel, not extraordinary).
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
dark amber-brown colour, almost no head, fresh fruity and spicy (cloves? netmug?) aroma, medium-bodied, dry spicy finish - balanced and original
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
UPDATED: FEB 6, 2009 Amber/brown colour, the head diminishes quickly. Fruity, spicy aroma. The flavour is an overhelming mixture of various spices, way too may spices. Dry finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark brown heavily spiced ale. Rather malty, but the gingerbread flavour takes over.

This has a really bready, toasty character. It is apparently supposed to be a spiced beer, but I didn’t get much of that, and classified it a Vienna at the time.
