Aroma - hevily dominated by clove and ginger. Reddish-dark with middle lasting creamy foam. To me it tastes like liquid pack of spices for mulled wine. Medium bitterness. A little dry finish with minimal acidity. "Too few beer in this beer" for me. But could be one of "should try" for bizarre admirers.

Bottle. Red-brown body with creamy foam. Lot of spices in aroma: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg - like gingerbread. Taste was same, but some roasted malts also. Quite artificial spicy for me.

Dark reddish brown, off white head. Nose is dominated by ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Taste is more of the same, with a slight ginger burn and some roastiness in the finish. Body is on the watery side. Thin mouthfeel, somewhat low carbonation. The gingerbreadiness is too overpowering for me. Weird brew.
