Malty amber coloured Christmas brew, moderate strength. Good but not outstanding.

madsberg (7568) - Søborg, DENMARK - NOV 18, 2002
Colour is amber. Decent head. Aroma has notes of caramel and some yeast. Flavour is uninteresting and very average. A little sweet bitterness in the end. The beer si disappointing for a ’christmasbrew’, where you can expect some more. Maybe I’ve tried to many really ’good’ beers, so it’s difficult to find the qualities of the beers, I used to appreciate.

Hansen (4616) - Assentoft, DENMARK - NOV 18, 2002
Has a not-pleasing burnt aroma and taste, and the head goes of rigth away.

LoveCaissa (873) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - NOV 16, 2002
Beautiful deep amber colour with a decent head that leaves wonderful lacing on the glass! Flavour has a nicely spicy sweetness that is very well balanced by the hoppy bitter finish. One of the better Danish Christmas brews.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - OCT 24, 2002
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2004 An amber beer with an OK head. It has a nice malty aroma with notes of caramel. The flavor is of malt sweetness with some caraeml and a slight bitterness.

MartinKubert (862) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - SEP 25, 2002
A very delicious taste and aroma of cinnamon and clove and a fine intense dark colour. A good alternative to the Tuborg Julebryg.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 27, 2001
Not really impressed with it, really similiar to Tuborg Christmas brew.

caesar (3748) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - DEC 3, 2001
Nice Carlsberg brew. It’s a bit more bocky then the original Carlsberg.
