Bottled. Dark amber colour. Cheesy nose, light roasty, caramelly, and almondy malty. Fluffy mouthfeel, malty Scottish profile with a light smokiness. Amarillo hops don’t show, neither does Fuggles. Balanced sweetness.

Reddish amber, thin white head. Malty, yeasty, fruity nose with some hints of orange and hops. Fruity, sweet flavour, thick mouthfeel. Somewhat spicy. Some roastyness in finish.

Dark redish amber colour with a medium-sized head. Malt and chocolate aroma. Malty, slightly roasty chocolate flavour. The alcohol shows up in the finish.

(Bottled) Clear, darkish amber color with a very small head. Sweetish-malty, vineous-liquourish aroma with coriander and orange-peel. Toffee-grainy-malty flavor with hints of orange and lemon. Medium-bodied palate with quite low carbonation. Nothing wrong with this, but not very exciting, either.

Bottle. Copper brown colour with a small off-white head. Sweet spicy fruity aroma and a sweet caramel, spicy, fruity taste. Medium body and a sweet light dry finish. Would be better in a couble of years.

This is the ultimate Christmas beer if you wan’t a beer together with the traditional Dansih christmas food. A lot of spices, some cinnamon. Flvour is very fruity with loads of berries. Finish is sweet. An extremely complex beer.

medium body, soft carbonation, brown, long lasting head, choccolate, vanilla, week taste of hops, no aftertaste. Would have expected more herps. Disapointingly week tasting 7% beer.

Sweet aroma, notes of candy sugar and some alcohol. Amber colored body with a small white head. Sweet and alcoholic flavor, reminds me of a bock as the sweetness leaves the mouth quite dry.
