500, corked and baled. Thanks, Colin! Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Sweet and spicy fruit aroma. Medium body, light carbonation. Sweet fruit, spice and toffee taste with an almond finish.

0.75 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009. Golden to copper color. Thick sweet aroma with vanilla, coconut, orange., tart fruitiness and spicy perfume. Sweet very fruity flavor with vanilla, coconut, apricot and some fruity tartness. Very warming, alcohol shows but not in a bad way. Very powerful dessert drink. Could be less oaky.

From a bottle left over from the Strangebrew Beerfest in Euerka, CA this poured a light orange with an off-white head and rich lacing rings. Nose of of ripe fruit. Rich and creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is malty, with fruit notes. Hides the alcohol very well. Very enjoyable.

Pours attractive bright golden with a finger thick off white head. Nose unfortunately goes a bit vegital. Not so much in the flavor, which is also complimented by the agave and a touch of oak. Hot finish.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2009) Golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, spicy nose with notes of apricots, Seville orange and pineapple. Fruity, malty taste with apricots, citrus, pineapple and a fairly sweet and spicy finish. Warming alcohol towards the end. Full body, sweet. Rather low bitterness, but spicy and very tasty. Nice one.

Bottle Pours out a orange topped with a medium white head. Aroma was of sweet flowers and light oak notes. Taste some toast or bread notes a long with some of that sweet vanilla oak. Thanks Sam

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Clear golden, no head. Vinous oak barrel aroma. Sweet and full bodied. Masively malty with well rounded mouthfeel. Intense flavour of lingoneberry and red wine. Not really that complex, but warming and wonderfully tasty

Clear golden with a small white foam. Smell of yeast, fruits and apples. . Tasted fruity, with apples and a warm alcoholic finish. Smooth mouthfeel, felt round and balanced. Although a bit watery.
