Bottle enjoyed at home
Dark red, finger thick tanned head. Smells of banana or something close, caramel, clove and some other spices. Taste has quite little sweetness for this dark a beer, still quite malty. Also alot of roasted malts. Feel is quite oily, very nice palate. Finish has super power bitterness. A massive wall of hops for sure. Best part of this beer.
I like this beer alot but not sure if it hits the spot when coming to norwegian christmas beer. Not even when thinking micro breweries. Taking NØ God Jul and Underlig Jul & HB Bestefar, Nissefar and Nissemor the race is set - and i don’t think Ægir can match them with this beer. It’s good, but not hitting the spot
