3.6 Thanks to djoeye for sharing a 330ml bottle, 9.1 % abv. Pours a dense fawn-coloured head. Opaque red-brown coloured body. Inviting aromas of brown malts and herbal hops. Semi-sweet flavours of brown and black malts, caramel, coffee, chocolate, added by a touch of cinnamon and followed by leafy hops to the ending. Well bodied. Peasant on the swallow (Tromsø 22.01.2015).

3.5 Clear red brown beer, beige top. Aroma; caramel, milk, and maybe Mikkeller lost his christmas fruit cake into here. Taste; hops, milk, spices and more spices, cinnamon, apple, chocolate, leaves - good body, rich - and finish is quite dark with leaves and chocolate into it. Drink a fruit cake.

3.6 330 ml bottle bought from Systembolaget. Opaque dark brown beer with a bubbly beige head. Sweet syrupy and roasty malty aroma and flavour has some spices. Soft mouthfeel. Some alcohol in the aftertaste and a bit unbalanced as well. Rating #900

3.7 Botella de 75 cl de el rincón de la cerveza tomada en el momento el 06-01-2015 en Belmonte. Con fecha de cons pref. para antes de 07-08-2023. Color casi negro con bastante espuma beige oscura que desaparece hasta quedar solo pequeño anillo. Aromas y sabores de maltas tostadas y caramelizadas con toques especiados y algo quemados. Cuerpo medio de 10.9 vol con buena sensación alcohólica. No esta mal, algún que otro recuerdo belga con unos toques especiados y tostados con un final amargo suave. Bastante buena, para repetir.

3.8 Aroma of spices, pine tree, fruits, malt. Nice Christmas ale. Tastier than Corsendonk and ingredients are blended nicer together than the Mad Elf. Clean finish, malts, slight roast and spices. More tree.

3.9 Duft lidt kaffe ristet malt brunkager smag sød malt karamel lidtkaffelide pebernødder rugbrød lidt ristet malt og kaffe

3.6 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of caramel, dried fruit, brown sugar and mild spices. Flavor was quite sweet with dark fruit, caramel, candi sugar, alcohol, raisins, chocolate and brown sugar. Creamy texture, full body, dry finish.

3.8 33 cl bottle (9,1%) @ home, BBE 08.08.2018 Aroma is a bit medicine-like with licorice, coffee and some alcohol. Flavour has licorice, coffee, chocolate and mellow spicy tones. Finishes with warming alcohol. Quite good.

3.8 Black color with small beige head. Aroma is coffee like in a nice imperial stout, but also spicy yeasts like in a Belgian Strong. Taste is fresh and rich, mostly coffee and spices as well. Rather dry, but boozy towards the end. Very pleasing. Rich, but still not overwhelming.

3.6 Bottle shared at brew dog Bologna. Pours dark brown with creamy head. Rich aroma of sweet yeasts an caramel. Sweetness also in the taste: caramelized malts and chocolate. Ends with bitterness of coffee and alcohol. Complex and interesting, but not easy drinkable.

3.4 Svart med medelstor brun krona. Syrlig doft med inslag av kaffe. Kraftig smak med syrliga toner. Inslag av kaffe och kola.

4.0 750 from Wegman’s Collegeville. Pours hazy chestnut with tan head. Nose was caramel malt, hops, maple, figgy fruit. Tasted complex, dense on the palate, with caramel malt, big hops, fig, molasses, X-mas spices, and a dense palate heft that finishes complex and enjoyable.

3.9 Capped 750 from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of moderate treacle, candi, and some sort of near noble hop. Full bodied. Flavor is treacle, chocolate, and brown sugar over and above the treacle. Hop? Sure, but what? Maybe a bit of Belgian yeast/spice, but not banana for me. It’s a monster of flavor, but hard to decipher. Great drink.

3.6 Bottle shared by Marcus. Pours cola with cream head. Taste is spices with some roasted malts. Get some coffee

3.8 Bottle shared by my friend John. Pours near black with a modest tan head and a treacle and candy flavor. There is a hearty dark malt flavor with some candi sugar and a dry bitter finish.

3.5 75 cl. bottle (10.9 % alc.) poured in to a Trappist glass, leftovers from last Christmas. My first Christmas themed beer of this season. Dark brown colour with a reddish tinge and a dense, tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel malts, chocolate, toast, liquorice, dark, dried fruits, candid sugar and spices. Somewhat alcohol dense. Taste is sweet. Full body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes fruity with toasted notes, spices and alcohol. A bit to much alcohol to be really great. Nice winter warmer. However, lacks a bit bodily compared to some of the rich Belgian Christmas beers.

3.0 Söt väldigt god smak, doft av god choklad och karamell. Den höga alkoholhalten är personligen en betygssänkare. Flaska från Systembolaget.

3.8 Draught at Mikkeller and Friends, Copenhagen Dark mahogany color with ruby shades; creamy brownish head. Soft aroma, caramel and gentle roasted malts.

3.8 Bottle, 9,1% version. Dark brown with a medium sized creamy light brown head. Dark dried fruits, roasted malt, brown sugar, nutty notes, light dark berries. Body feels quite light for the abv, but no noticeable alcohol except for some warmth in the finish. Goes down pretty easy and has a good balance between sweet and bitter. Very pleasant winter brew.

3.0 Bottle. Aroma of Wood, burnt malt and some smoked stuff? Dark Brown colour with large ligtht Brown head. Dark chocolate and coffee in flavour with some yeast and slight bitterness in the finish. Butterlike mothfeel. I also tasted it at Christmas and it didn’t really fit in.
