Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding. Pours a deep brown with a frothy off-white yellowish head. Aroma is sweet, some coriander, weak anise and a good deep sugar-feel. Okay creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, some toffee, caramel. belgian sugars and a well-balanced spiciness - a great balance, though.

75cl bottle. Pours a dark brownish color with a light brownish head. Aroma filled with malt and candi-sugar and barley. Taste comes with dark fruits (cherry, prunes or raisins) spices, possible cinamon and coriander. Beer is very well balanced and really reminds us of the festive times of the end of the year during the cold season. Beer gains a lot of lavors as it warms up, a little roasted towards the end.
