COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Christmas Ale blev i 2004 kåret som Årets Ølnyhed af Danske Ølentusiaster. Her oplever du en krydret og fyldig juleøl med mange komplekse noter af brændt karamel og nødder og en let syrlighed. Duften bærer moden frugt, lakrids og julekrydderier. I glasset står den rødgyldent mahognifarvet med et råhvidt skum.

English: Star anise and coriander, combined with a Danish ale yeast give the beer a distinct Christmas flavour of ripe fruit, liquorice and spices.

Koelschtrinker (7057) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - APR 1, 2012
Oxidierter dunkler Malzbeginn. Dabei verschwindet der oxidierte Eindruck nach und nach, die dunkle Malzigkeit wird intensiver, eine angenehme Süße ist dabei gegeben. Kräuternoten sind hinter der Süße vorhanden, das Bier wirkt ausgewogen und sehr weich. Zum Ende hin droht die Wässrigkeit, dann fängt sich das Bier aber und gibt süß-röstige Noten ab. Likörartig. Ein gutes Bier! 6/9/11/11/11/11

Bottle. Haze Brown. Small head. Sweet malty horney caramel aromas. No spices in my nose. Unbalanced sweet taste and finish. Just not my kind of brew prefer some bitter dryness....
