550mL bottle. Pours clear orange amber, capped with a frothy white head. Aroma of caramel, bread, yeast, and perhaps honey. Flavor is on the sweet side, with caramel, malt, honey with highlights of spice and citrus. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Pours clear amber, with a medium biege head, some lacing. Smells of fig, plum, caramel. Smooth, medium-thin body. Sweet and malty, with a mild fig and caramel flavor. A little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste, well balanced.

2008/09 bottle. Pours copper with creamy white head. Caramel in the nose and across the palate. Nice and malty, super drinkable, not a lot of alcohol noticed. Solid beer.

550 ml bottle. Pours a nice dark gold with a decent white head that fades. Aroma and Taste are of caramel, malt, yeast, fruit and some hops. Is rather sweet and has a nice bitterness to it. Easy to drink, even after it warms and the aftertaste leaves me wanting more. A nice seasonal brew that is enjoyable to drink and is a nice way to kickstart the winter months.

55 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to amber with a huge creamy, tan and slowly diminishing head - leaving a nice lacing on the glass - clearly a 5er. Roasted caramel malty with a light breadish note. Light yeasty too. Flavour is breadish and mild metallic with a lasting yeasty impression. Mild bitterness in an otherwise smooth finish.

55cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured a slightly pale orange colour with a big white foamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. It has a faint aroma that smells of malts, nuts and caramel with hints of syrup. It has a sweet nutty flavour that not suprisingly tastes of nuts, hops, caramel. It has a lingering aftertaste. A very nice ale to welcome the winter.

12 oz bottle. Clear copper with a thin white head. Nose is faint caramel and clove but not much there. Almost medium with a tingle. Taste is raisin, caramel, pine and orange but a bit watery. Dry finish with a touch of cough syrup.
