Bottle@Home. Sweet caramel malts, bit like hop pallets as well. Redish brown, beige head, good lace. Sweet, caramel, light malty, light bitter to bitter in the finish, hints of licorice and herbs. Full and very soft with a sparkling finish. Thanks Yngwie.

330 ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet,Storo,Oslo November 2011 A bottle from my cellar enjoyed in a tulip glass on my balcony May,22,2012 Medium sweet and malty.Descent and average christmas beer.

Bottle at home, thanks Benjii and Sev! Dark mahogany reddish brown, thin white head. Not bad nose, slightly grainy but nice notes of ripe red fruit too. Rich sweet red fruits, big honey sweetness with nutmeg spice notes also. Not bad, slightly fizzy.

Pours a brown colour with a thin light tan head. Aroma of chocolate, roasty malt, caramel, nutmeg and cinnamon. Similar flavours with heavy carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Not bad.

bottle at home ... thanks to B&S ... dark brown ... thin tan lacing ... sweet toffee roast malt nose ... over fizzy ... juicy malts ... soft roast ... sweet malts .. ligth spice ... building spice.

Bottle at home. Golden red amber colour. Very frothy head that diminish pretty fast. Light aromas of dried fruits and some leather. Leather very dominant in the mouth. Hints of alcohol and dried fruits. Thin mouthfeel, a little bit slick. Light bitterness. A decent christmas beer, but not the best at this strenght among the norwegian ones. Too weak at taste along with the christmas food.

Medium brown body with a light brown head that is… eh… head? Where did you go? It’s safe to characterise this foamy thing as "very short-lived". Heavy malty aroma: caramel, dark fruits and spices, and a hint of hops. Medium sweet taste with a light bitter finish. Very malty flavours, caramel, brown sugar, malt extract and some alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, medium to soft carbonation. A decent beer, but why on earth has this beer such a high rating?
[33 cl bottle, from Vinmonopolet Alna, Oslo]

Looks dark amber with a off-white head. Aroma with notes of malt, caramel and bread. Taste is medium sweet and some bitterness. Medium body, texture is rather thin, quite soft carbonation

0.33l bottle. This is a clear deep ruby/brown beer with a quickly fading and sidesticking khaki head. The aroma is disturbingly mild, but has some tones of dark malts, hops and roasted caramel. It’s average carbonated with a thin oily to watery mouthfeel. Light burned rubber tones in the flavor aside with dark malts and watery roasted caramel. This was actually somewhat of a disappointment.

Pours an offwhite head with a dark amber color body. The head disappears relatively quickly. Aroma of malt, spice and biscuit. Thin palate with a metallic mouthfeel. Ok beer but not overly impressed. I miss some roastyness and caramel malt aroma sice this is a "juleøl".

A sweet and somewhat malty Christmas special. Malts and caramel in the aroma. (Tap)
