It poured a dark black colour with almost no head whatsoever. A rather disappointing start. The aroma is dominated by coffee and roasted malts, but spices and hops is also present. Hints of alcohol, apples and nuts. The flavour is heavy and is also dominated by coffee and roasted
malts. Spices are also present as is hops, nuts and some alcohol. It has a long and lingering aftertaste. A very nice christmas beer indeed. austone (999), Turku; Pori, Finland Nov 20, 2008 Batch 54, cellared for a year. Dark ruby, huge soapy beige head. Acidic christmas appley aroma, christmas spices, maybe a touch of glue. Roasted malty flavor, spices, dry fruits, strong apple, tangy hops, little roasty chocolate and herbs in the finish. Yeast adds more tangy apple and ash. Quite light palate, with soda like carbonation. Strange but drinkable old ale, and even similar to Julmust actually. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA Oct 25, 2008 Courtesy DaChzMan. Murky dark brown color, light tan head. Odd aroma, smells like stale Pepsi, mild funky caramel, spruce. General mild sweet taste with not much complexity behind it at all. Really mild and a bit boring. Ungstrup (14754), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 9, 2008 Bottled. A dark red-brown beer with a huge bubbly brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of dusty hops, caramel, nuts, alcohol, pistacio, and marzipan. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of nuts, caramel, dusty hops, roasted malt, and alcohol, leading to a dry finish with notes of molasses. The body is thin inspite of the alcohol note. Archibaldo de la Cruz (394), Finland Jul 28, 2008 Pours a dark brown colour with a large lasting head. Roasted malt aroma. The flavour is sweet, roasted and malty with notes of hops. Smooth medium-bodied beer. Quite good.
