Dec 8, 2006 Bottle from Santa, Thanks. Pours out a dark brown color with a thick tan head on it. Looks very creamy. Smell is malty and sweet, somewhat spicy. Fruity as well. Taste is sweet and I detect some spicy cinnamon flavors from within. Smooth and pretty complex. Very different from this brewery. Some fruity notes from this too. I liked it, but its too bad you cant buy it in 4 packs or singles, only in that mixed box. Pretty cool beer though.

Dec 8, 2006 Pours dark brown, translucent, with a large pillowy head, whick recedes fairly fast to a thin covering which lasts for the rest of the beer. Very high carbonation level. Fairly subdued fruitiness, which made it seem almost lagerish, it’s so smooth. Fruitiness becomes much more evident as the beer warmed toward the end. Dont drink too cold! Sweet aftertaste, mild bitterness.

Nov 26, 2006 Bottle at the Rover in Göteborg with Gnoff. Orange-red colour with a thin head. Cherry and salty aroma. The taste continues on the same theme but is a bit disharmonic unless the temperature is warm enough. Good stuff (c)!

Nov 18, 2006 Pours a brownish amber honey w/ a full semi creamy froth. Aroma of dried dark fruits and rock candy. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Crisp flavors of malted, dried dark fruits stewed in a pot full of gravel. Apricot, plumb, leather, earth, tobacco, and slight medicinal banana spice flavors emerge. Long finish w/ a blanced bittering. Finish has a slight sour citrus undertone. Overall: a dry style w/ complex flavors. Well balanced. Highly recommended.

Nov 10, 2006 Pours very dark amber / mohagany with a ncie reddish hue. Good sized light tan head. The aroma has caramel malt, light bready smooth toffee and ice cream malt with some light spiciness. The malt is not as intense as you would expect. Medium body that is creamy then overcarbonation comes in to make the finish more crisp and fizzy. Taste starts with smooth toffee, light earthiness and some doughy flavors. The finish is spritzy with fruitness added to the other flavors. NIce beer - reminded me of a Belgium version of a doppelbock.
