joss (3244), Garching b. München, Germany Nov 28, 2008 Cute little bottle. Spicy nose, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom strongest, a hint roast. Murky opaque brown, no head. Fairly Christmassy flavours - pretty much a liquid gingerbreadhouse. If I wasn’t in the mood for dessert right now I would probably not like it.
Mellow mouthfeel.
Interesting idea and a good try - very much not what I am used to from a German brewer. Lets see if I sleep well after it like they promise. Quack-Duck (1973), Bodensee, Germany Dec 16, 2007 at the brewpub. Brown colour, small head, cloudy. Schlafmützchen translates roughly as night cap, they say it helps you sleep better. Interesting ingredients: honey, cardamom, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, clove, sage and others. Aroma of gingerbread. Full-bodied beer, the flavour really reminds me of gingerbread, but not sweet. Lovely combination of the herbs and spices and the honey. A very "christmasy" beer.
