| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2008 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. yespr (12345), Copenhagen O, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 6, 2008 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. espenra (295), Oslo, Norway
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2008 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. TheEpeeist (1473), Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA
