This is a dark, copper lager. The flavor is sweet with a hint of spice. The aroma is sweet as well.

This beer isn’t terrible, although the appearance is the best quality of this beer. Light mouth feel, minimal hops. Decent amount of alcohol for a winter lager, although technically this is more of a bock. Worth trying a 6 pack.

Brown, filtered, low/no head. Aroma watery, some spice, malt, hop. Taste watery, some spice, some hop. Too watery. Medium body, alcohol on tongue. Watery, not interesting. Purchased in SuperBrugsen, Halmtorvet.

Well this is only my second winter brew to have tasted, (my first being New Belgium’s 2 Below), and I have to say this was much more "easily drinkable". Not saying that is technically "better", but just sayin’ ha. There were hints of spices and all, but like I said, just very easily drinkable.

Has a nice pour, dark amber color with a light orange tint. Aroma is a light citrus, like orange and lemon. The taste is a little bitter but enjoyable.

12 oz bottle from winter seasonal pack. Full bodied brew...Fully met my expectations. Wonderful caramelly aroma. Finish is warming alcohol with traces of caramel and spices.
