Oct 24, 2006 Draught at Söderbärke Mikroölfestival. Ruby colour, small head. Spicy nose with notes lavender and juniper berries (even if these are not the spices added), as well as grassy hops. Medium bodied with clean rounded mouthfeel. Complex and intriguing flavour from the mix of spices, hops and caramelly malt. Rather light for a Christmas ale, but who cares with all these flavours?

Jan 9, 2007 [Draught]
Cloudy orange colour. Not the biggest head. Rich fruity aroma with tidbits and red apple. Bit spicy. Rounded, almost oily mouthfeel and very British. Berries and licorice was what I detected in this orgy of hard-to-track flavours. Pale spicy. Very flavourful with perfect balance in bitterness.

Dec 1, 2006 (Draught@Pikkulintu) Slightly hazy,dark ruby red with a small, but lasting and lacy head. Toffee-malty, christmas-spicy and flowery-hoppy, balanced and tempting aroma. Woody-hoppy, toffee-malty, dryish flavor with a strong, anise-licoricey finish. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with quite low carbonation. A very nice and balanced, christmasy, but not spicewise overdone brew.

Dec 10, 2006 Draught at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Cloudy dark amber color. Very nice aroma, malt, but most of all hops (earthy, English). Good body, where the caramel preveals, on some malt, roasted malt and hop. Final bitterness, equally from the roasted malt and the hop.
