Dorwart (1807), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA Dec 31, 2007 Thin head of fine and dense bubbles. Light carbonation. Loads of spices in the aroma. Lots of ginger and cinnamon. Bit of juniper and some sweet malts. Color is a dark mahagony red. Lots more spices in the flavor but less than in the aroma. Juniper and sweet malty with a touch of honey. A nice holiday brew. Hides its alcohol pretty well. Finishes sweet and spicy. A decent brew.

Has a lot of spices in the aroma and flavor. It´s strong and the malt, nuts, orange and clove in aroma makes a good start. There´s also some sweet liquorice in the flavor. Pepery aftertaste. Hawksfan17 (717), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 30, 2007 This dark amber pour smells like rosemary and holly. The flavor is sweet and spicy and is balanced nicely. I enjoyed this holiday beer and will be sure to add it to my list for next winter. Papsoe (14613), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 30, 2007 (Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Clear, dark, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Sweetish, spicy nose of cardamom and dried fruits with some alcohol presence. Quite full-bodied with sweetish caramel and a distinct spiciness - Speculaas-style. The finish is dry. 191207 vyvvy (2023), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Dec 29, 2007 Pours clear bronze with a thick tan head. The aroma has rich toasted malt with cinnamon, allspice (?) and other spices ~ it reminds me of an alcoholic root beer. Medium body that starts crisp and then feels a bit smooth. The flavor starts with the aspects of the aroma but leans towards tasting medicinal. The finish dries things out a bit. A decent beer. Emil (6075), Copenhagen, Denmark Dec 29, 2007 Bottle. A red brown beer with a big beige head. The aroma and taste is of caramel malt, cinnamon, ginger and chocolate. Light sweet. Medium body with a sweet spicy, light alcoholic finish. corby112 (671), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 28, 2007 Pours a dark cherry red with small white head. Spicy aroma with alcohol and frit presence. Tastes kind of funky with a mix of spicy pepper, ginger, syrupy cough medicine, dark cherries and alcohol
