Maria (8568) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 1, 2007
Beautiful red-brown color and a creamy head. The aroma is rather weak, but it does have notes of roasted malt and caramel. The flavour is quite sweet and has notes of roasted malt, caramel and a light bitterness, that develops and ends quite dry in the end. 2246

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".

KnutAlbert (4587) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 8, 2005
Not at their best this year. Nice caramel colour, but a sort of port palate that leaves a sour finish.

OleR (3639) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 16, 2006
UPDATED: NOV 17, 2006 Bottle. Clear brown color, good beige head. Strange aroma of (no kidding) old cheese(!) Not very offensive, but unusual. Toasted sweetish malt flavors, low hopbitterness. Sticky palate. Short, medium dry finish. Aass Bryggeri is known to make Christmas seasonals with a high quality level... I didn’t really enjoy this years (cheesy) version so much.

Palme (1437) - Bergen, NORWAY - NOV 22, 2011
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.
