Misty dark amber colour with corners of red. Aroma of spices and malt. Rather sweet flavour of brown sugar, nuts and caramel, notes of anis and licorice is precent. Medium bodiet. Medium lasting caramel finish. Too unbalanced to the sweet side for my beer taste. Hansen (2284), Randers, Denmark

Sweet, alcoholic aroma. Sweet and spicy flavor, with the usual christmas-spices. Long, warming and sweet finish. Probably the best of the Semper Ardens beers, and a year on bottle don’t harm it.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2005 (Bottle 2005 version) Well, praise should be given when it’s due. And this is a very nice beer.. A discreet aroma with some sweet, malty and spicy notes. Flavor is not discreet. There’s almost too much flavor. Almost too many spices and almost too much malt. But there’s definitely flavor here, which isn’t a given. Skinnyviking (4165), Copenhagen, Denmark
