tarjei (1360), Bryne, Norway Dec 26, 2007 33 cl bottle. 2007-version. Dark brown/reddish color. Nice beige head. Very sweet, fruits and berries, dark malt, some bitterness in the finish. Almost too sweet, but one of the better industrial Norwegian xmas-beers. thebeertourist (1951), Oslo, Norway Feb 10, 2007 Bottle. Dark red-brown with a yellowish head. Quite sweet, slightly burnt aroma, some fruity. Burnt flavours more prominent, yet good fruit shines through. Slightly sirupy. Rune (1838), Tromsø, Norway Dec 10, 2006 Off-white foam over a deep dark red-brown body. Dried fruity aroma. Caramel malty sweetness in flavour. Rather short aftertaste. Moderate to full mouthfeel (Sample at a Yule beer testing session in Tromsø, 08.12.2006) OleR (1351), Oslo, Norway Nov 16, 2006 Bottle. Clear dark brown almost ruby body. Decent beige head. Modest aromas of red berries and malt with notes of yeast. Taste is sweet, dark fruits and yeast. Mildly spiced, lightly hopped. Short sweetish finish. rickgordon (3077), Göteborg, Sweden Nov 15, 2006 [Bottled]
Deep ruby colour with a pale brown head. Bit burnt, sweet malty and less hops than in the Vienna Style. This is a bock! And a good one with the marzipan-almondy backbone.
