good carbonation! nice beer sudsy backwash. tinny tasting weak blackstrap molassas with a tinge of a port finish. not at all distinguishing. good clean buzz though. (sorry i’m from jersey and that means something to us)

Dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of caramel and toffee. Sweet and syrupy, the only way I can think to describe the flavor is "empty sweetness" - there is just not a whole lot of character in the flavor. On the positive side, there are no off flavors, and this would make a decent session brew for those who prefer something on the sweeter side of the spectrum.

(355 ml bottle at Rotary Pub, Göteborg) Clear brown color, tan to brown head. Caramelly and malty scent, also a bit of chocolate; hops and fruits as well. Full malty sweet taste with caramel malt and chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Chocolate sweet aftertaste.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a chestnut color with a huge tan head. The aroma was tangy, sour and bitter and not quite pleasant. The flavor was tangy, sour and nutty malts with hints of vague holiday spices and a bitter finish.

(Bottle) pours deep dark redish brown. Caramelly and fruity aroma with raspberry chocolate. Very lightly roasted. Hoppy undertones with a touch of citrus and maybe a tiny hint of flowers. Also small notes of berries and dark fudge. Medium sweet, caramel and fudge flavour with a sour sting in the finish. Some sour fruits and berries, mostly raspberries. Round mouthfeel. Raspberries ligers all the way to the finish along with some hops. Medium body.

Draft. A smooth, malty, drinkable brew that is reminescent of Young’s Old Nick.

Another good seasonal beer. Pours a beautiful deep red with a small white head. Nice sweet aroma...maybe brown sugar? Heavy on the palate with a nice bite. Definitely some sweetness there with a bitter aftertaste. A good winter beer.

Caramelly nose, nice mahogany color, lowhead. Roast malt with nutty notes and some maple syrup. Almondy end. Very sweet. Needs something to counter the sugariness.
