Spicy aroma with hints of dark fruit, pepper, malt, cinnamon and alcohol. Flavor consists of a roasted maltiness mixed with a creamy dark fruit presence.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Bottled 750ml. -Dark brown coloured, small to medium pale brown head, chocolate and plums in the nose. Sweet malty, dark fruits and alcoholic with notes of chocolate and spices. Nutty notes in the finish. Smooth and very drinkable for 9% ABV. Great Noel and so far the best Italian beer I’ve tried.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 27, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask at the White Horse. Dark mahogany with no head. Pretty spectacular nose. Thick and creamy alcohol. Full of luscious fruit. Very fleshy indeed. Good hazelnut and slight leather too. The taste is even better. Rich Christmas cake and liquorice. I’ll agree with Mario and go with the proper hazelnut Italian ice cream. Licourice and hints of spice but not at at all overpowering. Excellent yeasty notes and the whole experience is akin to a blend of Pannepot and Gouden Carolus Noel. Something smoky and roasty in the finish that rounds the whole thing off beautifully. The balance is through the roof. Just bloody superb all round. thewolf (5758), Kolding, Denmark

Pours a deep red with lots of bubbles in the liquid. Head is creamy, off white and stays for quite some time. Sweet aroma, light strawberries and a roasted spicyness. Full, lively and still a bit oily mouthfeel. Flavour is dominated by slightly burned caramel, apples, chocolate, strawberries, toffee, cinnamon, coriander and cardemum. The spices never ’take over’, lying perfactly balanced in the back. Lightly dry and spicy sweet aftertaste. MartinKubert (862), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 26, 2003 A very nice brew. Some alcoholic notes combined with something burned (sugar, caramel?). Nice malty dryness at first in the flavour. Bitter chocolate and dry cocoa in end of flavour and palate. A little sharp, could wait a couple of years... The Etruscan (306), Tuscany, Italy
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 22, 2002 Very lasting head. Color is dark bright red. Aroma is fruity with a bit alcohol note. Despite alcohol content (9%) taste is very balanced with initally fruity and floral flavour, ending in a lightly chocolat and toasty finish. Medium-full bodied.
