Bottle. Lots of dark fruit flavor. Very thick and almost syrupy. Spices are very present in the nose and towards the end of the swallow.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
500th rating! Time to start the Holiday season with this one. 12oz bottle pours a murky brown amber cola with hardly a trace of off-white head. Aroma is full of juniper, with sage, roasted malt, and slightly nutty. Juniper and spices work really nice in the alcohol noticeable but covered nicely by the sharpness of the juniper and sage, with chestnuts, roasted malts and licorice. Pretty complex, nice!
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle from atom. Looks like flat soda in the glass. Almost no head was present, and after that it leave a few sparse bubbles along the neck of the glass. Aroma reminds me heavily of soap. Definitely get the juniper, sage, and a bit of the caraway. The aroma leave a slight burning sensation in my nose. Bleh! Taste is a bit better, but still has loads of spice and pinesol character. Leaves an awful after taste. This is just bad, folks.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pour dark amber with a small head. Intense aroma from the start. Nuts, raisins and lot of spices, in fact a bit too much for my taste. I remember it was kind of "special" when I first tried it some years ago, but it seem even more "special" now.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Mörk färg med mycket enbärsdoft. Den dominerar även smaken som dessutom är ganska syrlig, lätt rostad med lite brända toner, mycket kryddor som nejlika, kanel mm. Efter 1,5 år i källaren hänger alla smaker ihop men det går inte att komma ifrån att kryddorna är i mesta laget.

12oz bottle.
Reddish brown pour with some off-white head. Heavily spiced aroma - nutmeg, roasted malt, and juniper berry. Flavor is nutty, spicy, roasted - very interesting and reminds me of the holidays.
