For a winter beer, it has a dark golden hazy color. With a thick white foamy head. It stays for a long time. A very beautiful aroma of bitter, sweet, caramel. orange fruit and spices. The taste is mild and complex. There are sweets and there are also spices and fruits, like citrus. A little soure. You don.t taste the 10% alc. A long soft bitter after taste. A very good beer.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma is sweet with notes of spices and oranges. The flavor is sweet mlaty with strong notes of spices as well as some nice acidity, and alcohol making the body thick, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Oct 3, 2008 (Draught at Stockholm Beer Festival, 20 Sep 2008) Dark amber colour, cloudy, with brief head. Fruity, malty nose with dried apricots, orange peel and a hint of yeast. Full malty taste with notes of dried fruit, apricots, orange and a spicy finish with hints of clove. Lots of flavours, full bodied and warming. A touch of alcohol gives it a decent bite. Powerful and warming beer.

Sep 28, 2008 Sample @ Stockolm Beer Festival 2008. Hazy appearance. Not a typical xmas beer. More like a usual belgian blonde with some spices added. Well made.
