a sim rate: (bottle @ Quinns) Tastes like sherbet with several fruits - plum, strawberry and raspberry. Tastes like fruity gelly sweets. Fizzy, sticky finish. Very drinkable for a 9% Christmas beer!

Don’t you love the little cherubs? Reddish amber with a respectable head and urgent cabonation, the aromas waft towards the nose carrying scents of mulled fruit, slight alcohol, mysterious yeasty esters and a slight tartness. A full mouthfeel welcomes a combination of sweetness, a strong fruitiness and more sweetness with a slightly sticky finish. Rich and flavorful, if a bit too sweet for my tastes on a general basis. Recommended.

Draft @ Ølbaren, Cph. Very perfumey and somewhat floral nose. Hazy orange colored body with a medium white head. Flavor is very perfumey, yeasty and spicy, reminds me of drinking cologne.

Draught at Ølbaren. Chewing gum aroma. Artificial cherry taste. Sweet and warming finish. Some mint is present, which I don’t like.
