Commercial Description:
Danish: Brøckhouse Julebryg har det hele. Brygget med en belgisk overgær og med hele fem forskellige malte og sukre: Pilsnermalt, hvedemalt, aromamalt, chokolademalt og rørsukker. Smagen er dyb, varm og fyldig, med en tydeligt chokoladesmag. En ægte klosterøl med duft af julens faste ingredienser som figner, dadler, nelliker og abrikos. Der er brugt bitter humle: Nothern Brewer og aromahumle: East Kent Goldings. Brøckhouse Julebryg er lagret i tre måneder og kan sagtens gemmes i op til ti år. En øl der passer perfekt til den fede danske julemad. Serveres med 10-12 grader.

English: Brøckhouse Christmas Beer has everything. It is top-fermented with Belgian yeast and brewed using four different sorts of malt and cane sugar. The taste is profound, warm and full with a distinct touch of chocolate. This is a genuine Abbey Ale with all the fragrances of Christmas: dates, figs, cloves and apricots. The hops are Northern Brewer and aromatic East Kent Goldings. Brøckhouse Christmas has been stored for 3 months and will keep easily for up to 10 years. It is an ale that goes excellently with the traditional Danish Christmas fare. Best served at 10-12 degrees celsius.

50 cL bottle, 3 L bottle and tap several times since the first release. Pours red/brown with light brown head. Aroma is strong, clear alcohol notes, berries, spice, roasted malt and liquorice. Taste has all the same elements in wineous blend, but notes just explode into a firework of taste - fantastic but perhaps slightly too strong and overwhelming.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a mahogany color with a small creamy head. NOse is belgian candy sugar, honey, mulling spices, and some dark fruit such as dates. Taste is surprisingly weak after that nice nose. Sugar, spice, malt, a bit watery mouthfeel, and not a lot of back end bitterness or acid. Not bad but the nose was the real fun.

2006 bottle thanks to bu11zeye.. Thought this was a brown or even a mild because of the malt heavy and low, non alpha hop profile. Pours with a light brown head, covering a dark brown body. Aroma of dark furits, caramel and pitted fruits. Taste is a bit sour and metallic at first, but towards the end there ar dark fruits and some coffee malts. Lightly fizzy. Interesting beer.

A strong, sweet ale with hints of fruit and spices, the most dominant fruit taste is apricots. Finish is slightly bitter, rounding out the taste. There is only a slight alcohol taste, so it goes down smooth for being such a strong beer. It also pairs well with heavy food.
