Can from SB cons 2011-11-22 Göteborg AR: brown sugar, syrup AP: dark ruby/dark amber colored body, 2 cm high deminishing frothy beige head F: syrup sugary feeling, melas, rich carbonation, medium bitterness,

Bottle. A dark amber colour, clear with a medium high, longlasting, tanned head. An aroma of roasted malt, caramel, spicies and bread. The taste is sweet with a light bitter end. A medium body and light carbonation. I like this beer (from dec 2010)

Reddish brown. Big head, slowly diminishing. Fresh smell, good balance between sugar and hops. Roasted taste with dried fruit and som herbal tones. A next to perfect companion to the Christmas food. I was pleasantly surprised.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2011 Didn´t have high hopes on this one, but I liked the both sweet and roasted taste. A very, very nice X-mas beer. Goes perfect with some gorgonzola or brie cheese. Try it, you won´t regret it.

Biggish beige head. Deep dark red body. Fruity roasty floral meaty aroma. Dryish meaty roasty taste. Sharpish mealy mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dryish meaty papery aftertaste with roasty notes. Harsh bitterness, too. Did they have a yeast accident? In any case, not a success. (0.5l can, Systembolaget, Charlottenberg.)

Amber with off white head - hints of roasted malt , some hop bitterness , short finish - very thin and not that good
