(on bottle at RBESG 2005)viennas are just nice, easy drinkable beers aren´they? This one was and a good example of the style too. Dark ambercoloured, no head. Some cardemomme in the aroma ans also in the taste, everything else is just nice malts. The alcohol was somewhat present in finish.

Courtesy of Rune. Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Clear and good looking red brown body. Mild and sweet a roma of roasted malt caramel nuts and a bit of raisin. Sweet roastedmalt cocoa flavor with caramel and a dry bitterness. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

From the Dalseter Høyfjellshotell, although February the Christmas beer my hang around a little longer hereabouts! A dark reddish beer with a brown tinged head and a nice burnt flavours with fruity notes.

Bottle 330ml @ home
Pours clear deep reddish brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel and licorice. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle. Pretty dark brown, small head that disappears. Light aroma dominated by dark malt, some fruit, sweet caramel taste with some roast. Light finish

The body is on the very dark side of brown. The light-brown head consist of huge bubbles that vanish within 15 seconds, leaving nothing. Toasted aroma, caramel and some fruits. Light to moderate sweet taste and a medium to light bitter finish. The flavours are more intense than the aroma: it’s roasted with nutty notes, raisins and alcohol. The mouthfeel isn’t quite there, but still an ok beer.
[33 cl bottle, from Vinmonopolet Alna, Oslo]

UPDATED: FEB 8, 2012 Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Halden. Deep dark colour with a tan head. Dark malt and light fruity aroma. Rich and mild flavour. Dark malt, caramel and light fruity. One of the best of the "old" traditional norwegian strong christmas brew

Bottle 33ml. Pours redish with an off-white head. Good taste with a long bold aftertaste.

Bottle (33cl) from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. Clear, dark reddish brown colour. Finger-thick offwhite head that settles as a bubbly ring. Dusty salty-sweet malt aroma with caramel and some alcohol. Malty, somewhat alcoholic taste with caramel and woody licorice - I feel the aroma elements don’t ’hang together’ particularly well. Medium body, soft carbonation. Some hop bitterness in the malty and relatively dry aftertaste.

Bottle. Deep brown reddish body with a small, off-white top. Aroma is dark malts and hints of raisins. Taste is roasted malts with hints of dark fruits and perhaps even a bit of wood. Filling mouthfeel. One of the best among its weight class of Christmas beers in Norway. Or, at least, certainly not among the worst.

A see-through brown with a brown foam Aroma; Bitter malt with some sweet fruit Flavours; A metalic aftertaste with a decent body. The aftertaste get´s nasty at sip nr. 2.
