| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Bottle at Kolding Ølmesse. Pours a copper-golden body with a nice beige head on top. Dusty, chalky nose with hops and a fruityness. Malty sweetness as well. The flavor isn’t as dusty and chalky as the aroma, and has a more pronounced, yet not pushing spicyness. Full bodied and sweetish, almost sticky. Some bitterness in the finish. Quite nice, but there are quite a few better Christmas beers on the Danish market.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 4, 2007 Bottle: Hazy, deep amber coloured, stable creamy yellowish head; rich flavour: liquorice, cough syrup and hops (in the background); initially sweet, later drier medical-bitter flavour; lingering ashy bitterness in the aftertaste. A very special brew.... Maria (6309), Thisted, Denmark
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 3, 2007 Red/brown with a huge, creamy head. Both the aroma and the flavour have notes of malt, caramel, yeast, spice, clove, anise and raisin, and the flavour has a light bitterness. In spite of all the notes, it seems like they haven’t been stirred together in the right way, it’s OK, but ordinary... 1772 ogivlado (3088), Zagreb, Croatia

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 28, 2007 The third beer from Papsoe me and ozujsko drank yesterday Poured a pretty murky orange-brown colour with a small thick creamy beige head that stayed there all the time. Lovely herbal nose, orange candy, some weak roastiness. The taste was a letdown after that. Typical (it would seem) earthy/coffee roastey mixed with peppermint and something else I can’t decypher from my notes. Weak weak smoke that didn’t work all that well for me. Did so well on the appearance and in the nose, but failed in flavor.
