Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - DEC 1, 2005
Bottle. Light brown head. Dark red body. Malty fruity aroma with hints of spices. Very sweet and fruity. No spices in the flavour more like berries. Not my idea of a Christmas beer.

Brown, unclear. Velvety beige head. Lively carbonation. Malty aroma and flavour. Roasted malts. Nuts.Sugarsticky palate. A very good danish x-mas brew, though judged as a dunkel pretty average...

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2009 On tap at Fynske Řldage, Odense, Denmark. Coppercoloured with a brown head. Hazy. Sweet malty aroma. Belgo-sweet with spices in flavor. Bitter finish. Rating: 5-4-6-3-13-3.1. (051029)

Bottle. (2006 vintage, maybe 2005) It pours a clear, copper body under a minimal beige head. Bready malts, caramel, a wee touch of coffee, a note of dried fruits and a starting oxidation in the aroma. Quite pleasant. Fruity flavor up front, soon assisted by bready and caramelly malts, a tiny touch of oxidation and dried fruits. Quite sweet, but not too sweet. It gives a little impression of spicyness towards the finish. Strange, but after a while, some alcohol warmth spreads on the palate. Quite effervescent. Sweet, caramel finish with a fine touch of bitterness. It bears the age quite well, and I’m no longer angry with myself for letting this one be forgotten in my cellar. (090126)

Again this year (2005) Svaneke Bryghus has made a very nice beer with a good taste. It is good balanced, and a beer I would like to use for christmas. The label is very nice and simpel.
