| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2009 Bottled 650 ml from Systembolaget (alc. 5.9%, BB 09/2009).
Dark ruby color, small creamy beige espresso head. Aroma has molasses, toasted sugar, fudge and hops. Moderately hoppy bitter porter with roasted maltyness, sweetish caramelly flavors, quite strong carbonation. Hoppy, cold coffeish aftertaste. Not really strong ale, but hoppy porter. Wellmade and quite drinkable. BeerFanDan17 (625), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 2, 2009 A very nice seasonal strong ale. A very unique balance of malts and hops. The strength is actually just right for this variety. Hints of sweets and bitter complement well. On cask at Mr. Dunderbak’s. kiefdog (1631), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2009 A dark brown, almost opaque brew with a big, creamy, tan head. Strong malt taste followed by a light hop follow-through. It ended in a lingering hop aftertaste. It was medium bodied and lacked the spicy flavored, warming effect expected in a winter ale. Definitely not a sipping beer. It went down well and quickly. sebletitje (1978), Tampa, Florida, USA

Aroma of light roasted malts, light caramel. Taste is malty and roasted, dark fruits - cherry with notes of coffee and caramel.
Light hoppy finish.
Very enjoyable, for $3.25 22oz. this is a real small gem. gunhaver (1043), Tampa, Florida, USA
