Can at the courtesy of Rune. Low fluffy and quickly disappearing light brown head. Beautifyl clear dark ruby body. Sweet aroma of caramel cinnamon raisin and oranges. Roasted barley malt flavor with caramel cinnamon raisin and oranges. Low carbonation, long sweet aftertaste. Surprisingly good.

Brown color, clear. Sweet with a well balanced bitterness. Some licorice and slightly fruity.

Clear mahogany with a tiny beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and plums. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel, grassy hops and plums. Finished sweet.

330 ml bottle. Good looking amber body with a decent beige head. Aroma is malt and caramel, a bit plain but pleasant. Flavor is slightly roasted malt with caramel and an acceptable bitterness, still rather straight forward but quite enjoyable. Body is medium and if you forget about the Christmas expectations it’s actually a pretty decent lager.

A red/brown colour with a low foam. Aroma; Burnt coffeebeans and some sweet orange peals. Flavours; A good body, some good malt and a really nice Co2 Summary; This is one of the better christmasbeers from the big brewery in Norway!

33 cL bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours clear and golden amber with a small tan head. Aroma is dark roasted breadish. Flavour is roasted and breadish. Dry malty finish.

Medium brown head. Dark red body. Fruity sugary red berry, toffee malts aroma with paper notes. Dry-sweet strawy papery caramelly taste with sugary notes. Mid-bodied. Dry roasty metallic rye aftertaste with papery notes. Some nuts and syrup, too. Not bad. (0.33l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

330 ml bottle. Reddish mahogany. Clear. Tall light beige fine-laced head. Papery aroma with a slightly sweet nutty note. Medium-bodied with a lightly sweet flavours backed up by nuts and cookies. Delicate flavours. There is a hop bitterness that hides beneath, but never shine through much. Even though there is a certain sweetness, it is the papery flavours that dominate. Decent, but not particularly exiting. Might work better in a stronger version.

Bottle. Amber colour with an off-white head. Flavour is dry, sweet, caramel, roasted malt, hop. Medium body. OK beer.

Can in Oslo. Dark amber body with medium head. Sweet, roasty nose. Taste of caramel, malts, sugar. Pretty sweet and caramel syrupy. Nice for the holidays this Vienna.
