Jun 5, 2006 Quite tasty, but Australian Christmas weather probably isn’t ideal for a beer like this. Sweet fruits and nuts are abound, with xmas pudding spices. Decent depth of flavour, but the sweetness was a bit cloying. This would be good to have at this time of the year, rugged up in a blanket with the rain pouring down outside...

May 18, 2006 Muddy amber-brown colour with limited head. Aroma of caramel and anis. It is a bit alcoholic, taste of caramel, burnt malts and some sweet spices. Overall not as sweet as other Christmas Ales but it is more spicyness than bitterness.

Feb 13, 2006 Above-average Danish Christmas beer. Nice plummy colour, with a fair head. Sweet and very much to style in the aroma, showing star anise, coriander and Christmas spices. Quite a full mouthfeel initially but it thins in the swallow. Tastes very much like a traditional pud - molasses, dried fruit, cloves, nuts. Quite a spicy finish with a heavy slug of alcohol.

Feb 3, 2006 A great beer. Lovely long lasting frothy head. Fruit caramel aroma, taste hides the strength well which i sweet viscous smooth chocolate. Has a good lingering aftertaste. I like this beer. As much as I hate Carlsberg I will be buying some more, to see if it improves over time.

Feb 2, 2006 Bottle. Quite a sweet, nutty, caramely malt character, sticky at times, with some subtle spiceyness. Quite a bit of alcohol showing in the finish, which i guess you’d expect in a beer of this strength, but i thought they could have done a better job of hiding it. This wasn’t bad, but a again with Semper Ardens, it falls slightly short of the mark.
