"2006 5,5%vol. Nice cinnamon aroma, not much foam. Reddish, brownish color. Quite good taste with some hint of fruits and raisins. Everything is nice, if only the cost of this beer would be normal too ;( Half litre bottle costs 5$..."

[3] Review by kschepelern from København Ø, Denmark who has tried this beer once. (11/19/2005 3:42:49 PM)
"the 2005 was my first taste and I really like it - the color is medium deep amber, almost red-ish and the aroma holds a lot of fruit along with the sweetness of the malt, which is typically chrismas-sy - the head is rather thick, and doesn't fade right away - the taste is sweet/malty again with some fruit notes and a nice soft finish

[4] Review by Hellspider from Denmark who has tried this beer once. (11/8/2003 8:26:07 AM)
"I sampled the "2003 vintage" version.
Nose: not overwhelming; christmas-like (cinnamon, roasted almonds, cloves)
Structure/taste: a little "thin" (like a standard pilsner) but with a little less CO2
Aftertaste: fair but not that good; I certainly prefer stronger brews."
