Bottled, UDRBG. Fruity aroma with a hint of licorice. Hazy, orange/brown color, yellowish head, good lace. Overwhelming sweet what is a pit and the flavors are good. Caramel, very fruity, apple, apricot, melon. Milky/creamy mouthfeel, alcohol well hidden, pretty sticky.

Bottle. Dark amber brown color with a long lasting head. A taste of toffee in the beginning turning into a light bitter anise taste. Quite long finish, alcohol showing. Very nice danish christmas beer.

A Christmas Beer unlike most other Danish Christmas Beer. Dark Amber Brown color, with a long lasting head. A taste of toffee in the beginning turning into a light bitter anise taste.
