Beautiful medicine bottle as always with st Peters.
clear brown, small light brown head.
nice rounded roasted malty slightly toasted slightly nutty aroma, faint spices.
flavor is malty, strange herbal bitterness. In fact the herbal bitterness grows as i drink more. The bitterness resembles an english bitter a bit.
Pours a dark brown colour with a white thin head
Notes of roasted coffee and cocoa nibs
Bottle version from St. Peter’s brewery
50 cl. smuk oval flaske. 7,0 %. Maghogni farvet jule øl fra det engelske. Lige på kanten af at være for stærk. Ellers udmærket.
Botelski. Dark brown colour. Medium off white head. Sweet like dark malty caramel dark fruit spiced aroma. Good palate. Sweet like flavour with dark malts caramel and spiced along with darl fruits and a medium bitterness. Pleasant.
Traditional ale spiced for Christmas. Light bodied and a little fizzy. Subtle aromas. A toffee base from the malt. Some orange and citrus notes and plenty of cinnamon, ginger and spiced fruit. Very drinkable.
Fles 50cl thuis gedeeld. Flink caramel, wat kruidig, redelijk specerijen, licht gember, wat kaneel, sinaasappelschil, bitters, licht droog. (24-12-2019).
Bottle, 1 pint. Clear reddish, minimal head. Sweet toffee and fruity aromas. Light bodied and fizzy. Medium sweet, medium bitter. Licorish malty flavors into a bitter alcohol finish. Not the most refined strong ale but rich and warming and you only need a couple to get in the mood.
De botella en L’Europe. Color rubí claro con tupida espuma de color beige de muy buena retención. Aromas a melaza, pasas, bizcocho, azúcar, canela y clavo. En boca es suave y tiene buen cuerpo, moderadamente carbonatada, destacan los sabores a uvas pasas, frutos secos y bizcocho. Cierto grado de alcohol muy agradable. Retrogusto suave y sencillo, a frutas secas. Bastante rica.
some cocoa and some marzipan. a little sticky sweet yet with some hop and malt in evidence. brandy fruit and just enough alcohol for the holidays. a little caramel and a nicely aged brew.
Igen erőteljes borostyán színben fürdőzik, angolos modorú, mézesen malátás, krétaporos karakterű élesztős lepelbe burkolózik. Ízjegyei teltek, árnyalatnyit datolyás, aszalványos, shortbread-es világúak, a levezetés azonban határozott, markánsan kesernyés, száraz, de kiegyensúlyozott. Természetéből adódóan valóban méltó kísérője lehet különféle ünnepi csemegéknek, én azonban egymagában fogyasztottam el a régi idők báját magán hordozó címkével rendelkező karácsonyi főzetet.
On bottle.
Pours deep red-brown, with small head.
Scent: Lots of spices, sweet malts, dates and raisins.
Taste: Anise, liquorice, ginger-ish, lots of spices. Sweet.
Texture: Thin and high co2.
Bottiglia. Sentori di sottobosco vanno a dare soddisfazione al naso. L'intensità olfattiva è un timido profumo e la costanza olfattiva è appena percepibile. Il cappello di schiuma non è molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è ambrato carico. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è normale, con continuità sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca e agrumi.
Bottle from Snape Maltings. Pours mid brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of Christmas spices, Christmas cake, dried fruit, toffee and hint of chocolate. Medium plus sweetness, moderate bitterness. Full bodied, rich oily texture, average carbonation,
Bottle at home bought from the Old Jerusalem. A good pour and a surprisingly light colour in the glass with a minimal head. There was a lovely malt and caramel flavour that was balanced by the St Peter's bitter hops. This was rich and warming and I thought that the malt and hops were perfectly balanced. I would classify this as a double winter warmer. Lovely.
Clear mahogany brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are intense with sweet malts and red fruits. Lots of fruit cake.
Pours a dark red - almost brown. aromas of roasted nuts and molasses. Taste is nutty malt with and a hint of alcohol. Finish is molasses with some spicy bitterness. Nice winter beer.

500ml bottle BB 12 Feb 2018
Hazy light brown with little head.
Aroma is caramel, dried fruit and oaky/wood.
Very oaky/dry with malt but not much sweetness which was a real disappointment.
I think I got a dud bottle but this wasn’t great and I struggled to finish it.

11 Enero 2017. From elcervecero. In Ikea’s pint glass. Playing Blackwell Epiphany. Caramel with some spices. Refreshing and goes up to the gead quickly. I prefer their winter ale. Avg 3.7
2 Enero 2020. Etiqueta de 2020. De Labirratorium. En copa de pinta inglesa de Ikea. Jugando con Rodrigo a Fall Guys y Fortnite. Inicio acaramelado agradable con sensación ligera.en boca que da paso a un amargor intenso y una aspereza que cancela el dulzor inicial y le resta bastantes enteros. Avg 3.5
Bel colore rubino limpido, schiuma poco persistente biancastra. Aroma poco pronunciato di malto, spezie, dark fruits. Palato leggero con alcol Cmq ben presente. La bevuta è dolce ma con un buon equilibrio, verve tipica inglese. Dolce con note speziate. Carbonazione bassa.
helder rood/koper met beperkte geel/witte kraag. aroma van mout, caramel, zoethout, kaneel, smaken zijn redelijk kruidig, redelijk zoet, zoethout, natte bladeren, aards, kaneel, sinaasappelschil, matige body, lage co2, tja kruidig winterbier, niet mijn favoriet
Beautiful clear ruby red beer with a weak white head.Smell is caramel, apples and cherries, nuts, some honey, light biscuit and christmas spices.Taste is full and fizzy, refreshing, with a bitter astringent finish, quite sharp.
Kicsi, gyorsan eltűnő hab, vörös szín. Nem túl intenzív, amber ale-es illat. Keserű, enyhén amber ale-es, kissé csípős, fűszeres ízvilág. Ahogy melegszik, előbukkan egy kis alkoholos mellékíz. Utóíze keserű és semmi más. Testes sör.
Cervesa molt dolça on destaquen els tocs a caramel i a galeta amb un lleuger toc especiat.
Cerveza muy dulce dénde destacan los toques a caramelo y a galleta con un ligero toque especiado.
bottle bel ramato piuttosto limpida schiuma media discreta persistenza caramello leggero tostato frutta secca leggero liquoroso
Pours a mid brown with a white head that recedes fairly fast.
Aroma of fresh wort, malts and English hops. Some orange.
Very enjoyable to drink. Medium body with the flavour lingering around nicely. Spritzy feel from the blend of alcohol and low carbonation. It’s not too malty or heavy, with the flavour of orangy and spicy hops blending nicely with some caramel notes. Somewhat fruity but no aged flavours (maybe the slightest port-like blend of sweetness and alcohol). Finishes medium-dry with some pleasant alcohol notes and mild bitterness.
Overall it’s a great, easy to drink strong ale. It doesn’t try any unnecessary pyrotechnics and the subtle flavours make you want to reach for another one.
Korrekt kis vizes löttyös test, mely mögött komoly alkoholtest bújkál. Igazi karácsonyi lezsibbasztó,
