| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear golden colour with small short lasting head. Aroma is spicy and roasted of coffee, but still sweet. Flavor is much of the same with roasted malts. Also has the required X-mas spicy feel, but it is dominated by coffee. mjs (1541), Helsinki, Finland
