330 bottle from Vinmonopolet,Storo,Oslo.Bought November 2011. A bottle from my cellar enjoyed from a tulip glass on my balcony,May,22 2012. A strong,malty,sweet and wonderful beer.

On bottle from 2011 Dark brown, brownish foam Medium/full body & high complexity . Sweet flavours (dried fruits). Good balance Pretty ok ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A wonderful surprise from Aass. Brown color, full body, caramel sweetness with some bitterness and a hint of sour. By far the best Norwegian christmas beer I tasted in 2011, and hopefully a sign that the large breweries are finally taking up the challenge from the micro brewers.

I’m done with the Norwegian christmas lagers I wanted to rate this year, so here’s my first domestic christmas ale! Gorgeous clear dark brown body with a cola tint, supporting a long-lived, light brown head that laces the glass somewhat. Sweet malty aroma with dark fruits (raisin) as expected, but also quite spicy, some alcohol and a touch of liquorice. The taste is medium sweet, with a light to medium bitterness. Very pleasant flavours: (dried) dark fruits, spices, alcohol, herbs and burnt sugar. Medium to full body, oily texture and soft carbonation. Delicious!
[33 cl bottle, from Vinmonopolet Alna, Oslo]

Julen 2011. Pours a dark-dark amber color body with a thin beige head. Aroma of raisins (dried fruit), dates and brown sugar. Sweet taste with a well balanced malty flavour. Quite tasty juleøl from Aass.

Sötmalt åt papphållet. Plommon, söt, klibbig, malt, kola, russin. Allt för obalanserad

Bottle. Deep, clear red mahogany red color with a creamy head. Better than expected but a bit unbalanced with notes of alcohol both in the aroma and taste. Roasted malt, nuts, caramel and spices. Medium carbonation and body.

0.33l bottle. A deep brown body with a red hue and a small bubbly and heavy lacing tan head. The aroma is quite elegant and nice. Sweet with dates, raisins, caramel, chocolate and cocoa hints. Rich mouthfeel with a average carbonation level. A bit sharp on the flavors. Quite obvious and sharp alcohol that dominates the other flavors. Also kinda caramel-metallic, but just a hint. Ends with a nutty-bitter finish and aftertaste. All in all a drinkable Christmas brew from Aass, but I will store a bottle for a year. Suspect it will be better then.
