[Bottle, thanks Akevitt!] Pours clear cola-brown with a beige head. Aroma is reminiscent of spicy bread--very malt heavy. Taste has some grape, just like the klasse D, but also a lot of the maltiness. Somewhat thing with a long dry finish. Definitely better than the klasse D, but still below average.

Bottle from trade with yngwie. The beer was clear brown with some eggshell color foam. In the aroma and flavor I got caramel and roasted malt. It was sweeter, spicer, and slightly more alcholic than the Juleøl klasse D. Slightly bitter finish.

Laegraid (37) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 28, 2007
Tasted 28. Nov -07. Toasted malt and a bit sweet aroma, thought it smelt yeasty at first. The first flavour I tasted was the malty aftertaste, I had to take a few more sips to detect some of the roast and caramel notes. After I had tasted it i could also find some caramel in the flavor. A god straightforward christmas beer .
