My experience tells me to be sceptic towards flavoured beers from Carlsberg… So how about a cinnamon/cocoa-flavoured Christmas lager?

The colour is dark brown amber; the beige foam forms a quickly sinking head. Some lacing.

A note of artificial chocolate dominates the smell. There are also some sweet notes of candy and coca cola.

The taste is… Is this really beer? Are human beings supposed to drink this? Isn’t it really some sort of odd air-freshener put in a beer bottle by mistake? Flavours of chocolate-flavoured tea, cheap milk chocolate, diacetyl,salt, some roasted malts (Yes! At least a beer-related taste!) and some sweetness. The aftertaste got some sour bitterness and notes of coconuts and coca cola-flavoured candy.

This might be one of the worst beers I have reviewed so far, maybe challenged by the artificial honey-flavoured lager “Svea Viking Mjöd” from the same brewery. Hell, they are probably brainchilds of the same deranged mind.

The carbonation is mild and sharp at the same time, making the beer not very refreshing.
