The head is brown, dense and bubbly with moderate lacing on the glass. Dark-brown body colour. Sweet aroma of caramel. Roasted caramel malts in flavour joined by ripe fruits. Dry aftertaste. Well bodied, but does not quite give me that xmas feeling (enjoyed with Finn, Tromsø 06.09.2007).

Unclean (even for an unfiltered beer). Caramel and some hops dominates the flavour. Slightly fruity and caramely flavour with a nice dry finish. Solid and wellbrewed beer.

Brown with a nice head and a malty aroma. The flavour is malty and sour with hints of roasted malt, light notes of fruit and bitterness. IMO the sour notes are too dominant. (Christmas 04)

Bottle. Huge off-white fizzy head that mostly lasted. Nice mahogany coloured. Lovely aroma of Christmas with notes of cinnamon, caramel, dry fruit, caramel, hint of liquorish. Medium bodied with a fizzy carbonation. Flavour was moderated sweet with hint of bitterness. Excellent lingering sweet malty finish. Nice and very drinkable beer.

Bottle. Amber colour. Average lasting off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Sweet short lasting toasted malty flavour with a long lasting bitter aftertaste.

Good looking dark red/brown appearance decent head. Mostly hobby/flowery aroma with some notes of plums. Quite abit hobby bitterness in the flaver, wellbalanced with some sweetness. Abit unusual for a christmas beer, i liked it.

Bottle. Cloudy amber brown color with a small fair lacing off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, sweet. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average duration. body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. Yeasty aroma, a little malt, perhaps some brown sugar. Hazy brown colour, small head. The flavour is yeasty with a good, sweet aroma hop. Finishes with an OK bitterness to balance.
