Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is fruits, glueish alcohol and some mild spicyness. Flavour is glueish alcohol, sweet fruits, yeast, some spicyness and mild woodenness.

Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Clear amber color, good off-white head. Prunes, alcohol and candy sugar in the nose. Acidic, yeasty flavor with prunes and dates. Odd sourness.

Bottle. Spicy aroma with brown sugar. Spicy flavor (cardemom?) partly pushed away by the sugary sweetness. Tobacco in the aftertaste. Decent, but sugary sweet and uninteresting.

Bottle@Home, Mar 08, 2.8: Sweer aroma, alcoholic, apple and cinnamon. Light brown color, beige small head, good lace. Sweet, light bitter, apple, cinnamon, clove. Sticky, alcoholic and thin for 10% ABV. Bottle@Home, 8% ABV, Jan 07, 3.0: Aroma of clove and apple. Dark amber color, beige head, good lace. Sweet, loads of spices, raisin, apple, sticky. Technically ok but too much spices for me.

(33cl bottle) Clear, bronze colour with a big and lacey light-beige foamy head. Sweet and fruity (cherry, overripe citrus) aroma, slightly vinous with a vague hint of toasted malt and phenolic spice (band aid). Sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied with a crispy carbonation. Initially sweet toast-malty and slightly fruity taste, getting strong spicy and moderately bitter towards the finish, drying out a bit; alcohol is evident. Lacks balance.
