| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of joergen. Pours a clear amber golden with a yellowish/brown head. Hard roasted malt and spices in the nose. Quite full-bodied, hard roasted malt and a piquante spicy note that never becomes too much. Fairly bitter finish - most likely from the spices also. But not a bad stab at a Holiday ale. 270609 Ljunkan (399), Karlstad, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a dark brow color with a small white head. Aroma is filled with spices, nuts, caramel and lightly of chocolate and some gingerbread. Also a bit vinous. Flavour is - as the aroma - really spicy and Christmas-like, with clear nutty notes, though I must say the aftertaste is a bit short. Fullbodied on the palate, smooth texture, and soft carbonation. A quite nice beer. mspindler (335), Alta Loma, California, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 28, 2009 It poured a dark brown liquid with red tones and a small foam that left just a little lacing. It smelled spicey and christmasy also something that I related to pumpkin seeds. Now that I see the name at ratebeer I realise that must be it. It had a complex spicey flavor that I had a hard time placing and a hint of nuts and a warm alcoholic finish. Very nice!
