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.

Kronebryg (761) - Sorgenfri, DENMARK - OCT 3, 2011
Vint 2007: Very lively and almost sprays out of the bottle. the head that remains is lasting fine and the colur is is ´dark brown. dark nose, black caramel, sugar, light cinnamon and the typical minty Brøckhouse touch. To light though. Soft and fullbodied with some length. Taste is almost oily with some dark sugar and caramel, dried prunes and chockolate. Very fina tase, but the nose is too light to earn a top rating

Cloudy dark brown beer. Dry palate. Marmite and sweet malt and something mildly spicy, ginger? An odd combination that just about hangs together.

humlelala (399) - DENMARK - MAY 7, 2011
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2011 (2007 vintage bottle 50 cl from a random supermarket selling off the estate) Pours black with a reddish hue, medium off-white head that laces the glass. Aroma of malt, honey and fruit with the faintest whiff of oxydation. The brew hits the palate as a full-bodied, softly carbonated concoction with oily texture and a long, astringent finish. Taste is complex, a balanced sweet and sour with notes of syrup and raisins. Good beer but rapidly approaching its end of life cycle I’m afraid. Thanks for a lot of great beer experiences. Brøckhouse!
