Jan 18, 2006 750 ml painted (mock stoneware) corked bottle, now available in Norway (despite some objections by the humour & morality police). Amber to brown colour, large off-white head with an orangey hue. Malty sweetish aroma with strong notes of caramel, treacle and Christmas spices, also notes of yeast and oak. Flavour is very spicy and sweet (candy sugar) with a pleasant warming mouthfeel. There’s a hoppy and spicy (and slightly alcoholic) bite in the finish. A demanding beer, but not bad.

Dec 15, 2006 I had this beer at a bevmo tasting in Laguna Niguel, California. I think that the pink elephants on the bottle are cool
I thought it was a smooth and fruity beer and enjoyed it.

Dec 27, 2006 Poured a dark brown, with some hints of red. Aroma of fruit, citrus, pit fruit, and some hops. Malt also. Flavor was unexpected and complex. Fruity and smooth. Evident hop presence. Malt as well. Pretty good.

Dec 9, 2005 Amber appearance. Big white head. Very fruity aroma. Flavour is sour and metallic. Huge amounts of yeast in the finish. Not a pleasant beer. Too sticky and too sweet.

Dec 17, 2003 Bottle. A cloudy apricot color with a tan head. A festive aroma with bubblegum, grapefruit, alcohol, and banana. Medium body with a strong alcohol kick that provides the warmth of a high abv beer that one would expect for the season. A sweet spicy flavor that was quite nice.

Jan 24, 2009 0.33 l bottle from Alko. Dark amber color with quickly vanishing head. Sweetish, caramelly and fruity aroma with tart fruitiness, grapefruit, figs, sharp alcohol and hints of solvent. Sweetish caramelly, tart and nutty flavor with sharp alcohol.
Too boozy and sharp with overload or caramel.
