Dec 3, 2007 Bottled. Deep brown colour with mediumsized brown head. Aroma is toffee, malts, slight roast and fruits. Also some mild spicyness. Flavour is leathery, malty, toffeeish and slightly smoked wood also. Quite slimy palate, but otherwise well done brew.

Dec 1, 2007 Black colored, little brown head. Extremely rich licorice and chocolate in aroma, roastiness also there with sweetness, strong aroma indeed. Medium bodied. Flavor is also dominated by this licorice and chocolate, still more hops in flavor making it not so sweet than aroma. Aftertaste is still syrupy, plummy and rather sweet and hopped, though still somehow round one.

Dec 1, 2007 500ml bottle (Gallows Bird, Espoo, OKT Pikkujoulu) Batch #35.
Very dark ruby, almost black. Spicy burnt malty aroma, also a little alcoholic. Sticky malty body , sweet and burnt. Gently alcoholic, quite pleasant to sip, but missing something. Maybe a little ’raw’ in places.

Nov 17, 2007 Bottled (brewed 03/2007, batch #35)
Dark nut brown color, almost opaque color, small brown head. Dark chocolate, burned dark malts and raisins in the nose. Chocolaty, yeasty, some spices (clove?), a bit alcoholic. Similarities to Nøgne Ø Porter, slightly thinner, not so coffeish and more spicey. When this beer warms up, it gets some Old Ale -stylish toffeish notes.
