Bottle. Poured dark amber / copper brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of toffee, chocolate, roasted malt, bread, dried fruits, touch of spice. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Slight oily texture, average carbonation.
Old rating from Nov 2014 - 500ml bottle, pours brown with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, fruit, uts, raisins, toffee & sweet malt. Medium body. Moderate bitter finish
50 cl bottle (the bottle itself looks very nice by the way). Beautiful amber color. Aroma of sweet malt and toffee. Nice flavor with more of that sweet malt. Perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. Good finish. Enjoyable.
Smooth, roasty, balanced, and just the right amount of booze.
Mycket god, lagom spännande smak och lagom tung. Ljuvlig!

Aroma : Deeply toasted toffee maltiness, fruits/nuts and subtle spice of a rich Dundee fruit cake with a little earthy hop note. Taste : As aroma. Medium bodied, malty and rich with a moderate bittersweetness throughout. Solid
20-03-20 // 500ml bottle from Stumpf. Clear copper brown. Easy caramel malty. A bit boring. But solid.
500ml bottle from Waitrose, Rickmansworth and drunk on 02/01/2008. Quite a nice winter beer. Big on malt and dried fruit and rather sweet.
0,5l bottle. Pours clear dark amber with off-white head. Aroma of malt, toffee, english hops, caramel. Taste is sweet initially, malt, toffee, caramel, earthy, bitterness from the hops shows up. English through and through.
Beautiful beer, small head. Pleasant aroma. Good balance between bitterness and sweetness.
Pours dark amber with a nice head. Lovely colour and taste. Cozy beer to drink in the winter. Ok beer overall
0,5 l Flasche. Rotbraunes Bier, riecht und schmeckt nach schwarzer Johannisbeere.
slőször túlságosan is alkoholos és édesen gejl, aztán ahogy szellőzik kijönnek belőle mindenféle aromák: mahagóni, karamell, mézeskalács, szilvásgombóc. igazán karácsonyi sör.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato dal sottobosco. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, agrumi, erbe aromatiche e mandorla fresca.
0.5 l bottle from 'Trinkgut Knödgen', best before October 2019. Clear, deep reddish amber with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, floral-fruity and slightly herbal-grassy aroma of raisins, tea leaves, plums and some molasses. Gently sweet, malty, slightly bitter, fruity, gently herbal-grassy and a little floral taste of raisins, tea leaves, plums, some molasses and a touch of marmelade, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently herbal-grassy and slightly dry finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very pleasant Ale, really well-balanced and round, pretty deep for that abv as well.
On tap. Pours a clear deep amber with a medium, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, dried fruit, licorice and spice. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, bread, plum, raisin, licorice, spice and a hint of chocolate in a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Not bad.
Ambrée sombre, bonne mousse beige. Nez sur le caramel brun. Gout houblonné anglais, caramelisé, malté légèrement biscuité, légères épices et notes fruitées. Bon corps. Fin avec amertume fruitée et caramel brun. Belle bière typiquement anglaise.
Not much that qualifies this beer to be called winter. It’s a malt backbone is nice but it is terribly astringent for a bottled beer. D&S Dresden
Fles 50cl thuis. Rood fruit, zoeten, bitters, kruidig, vanille, toffee, licht stroperig, malten, warm. (19-1-2019).
Copper-coloured, this beer comes with very little head and features a deep and deliciously malty nose: honey, brandy, plum, figs, a trace of vanilla. On the tongue, you get gentle bitterness with a wee sour edge - which suits the style well. A very juicey drink, though perhaps just a tad thin towards the finish.
Tap@Tuoppi, Tampere, Finland. Medium, averagely balanced nuances of dry dark fruits, some caramel and malt, a hint of spices. Medium taste spectrum and medium aftertaste with dry fruits. Medium/light body with medium carbonation. Overall, bit mild for bitter but organic dark fruits save a lot. 8 4 7 3 14
Bottle from Systembolaget. Aroma of dark fruit, raisin, spices, caramel. Pours clear chestnut body with beige head. Taste is malts, ark fruit, caramel, spices.
Flaska Systembolaget. Orange vätska. Doft och smak av kartong,smörkola och lite halm. Söt och avslagen känsla
Precis så här skall en god julöl smaka. Med karamelltoner och styrkan i smak, känslan av lagring och en balanserad alkoholhalt gör detta till ett toppenval.
An english, copper Strong English Ale with light head. Aroma is caramel, light tea, light raisin. Taste is bitter sweet. Light pearly.
50 cl. flaske. 5,3 %. En næsten gennemsigtig amber farvet øl. Kedelig fætter uden appeal.
2 finger beige head.
Clear, ruby to dark ruby coloured beer.
Aroma is raisins, figs, floral hops, metallic note, caramel and dark bread.
Taste is similar but a bit more tame with caramel, some dark fruits and a lot of that typical strong ale metallic note.
Mouthfeel is rather soft and has an equally soft (but foamy) medium carbonation. Medium-low bitterness. Slightly sticky. A bit chewy. Finishes too watery but that's to be expected considering the low ABV.
Overall: Pleasant brew. Uncomplicated and true to style in the most classical way. Wish there was more depth to it but it's nice for what it is.
Bottle 50cl. Small white layer not staying long. Clear red brown color. Aroma is caramel, cookies, plums, cherries. Taste is sweet
