Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Also sold as "Holmegaard Bock".

Danish: Julebryggen har en flot og rødbrun farve og let cremet skum. Det er en fyldig øl brygget på flere forskellige malttyper med strejf af chokolade og karamel. Smagen afrundes af en blød bitterhed fra aromahumlen Amarillo, der har en rig blomstret aroma med toner af citrus.

Bottle, as Holmegaard Bock.
[thank you, myrup]
Pours deep brownish red with a big, frothy off-white head with a yellow hue. Aroma is mildly malty, light caramel, some prunes and very light chocolate. Light mouthfeel, a bit thin. Flavour is okay, quite typical bock character. Light toffee, caramel and a bit of chocolate. Quite a nice beer.

The color is beautiful, dark red-brown and the head is nice, and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel and hints of vegetables. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, caramel, hints of licorice, light fruit and a slightly citrussy bitterness. I know that a bock is supposed to be sweet, but I prefer them just like this, medium sweet with room for hops too – so IMO it’s a nice bock!

Bottle. Low off-white and lasting head. Clear dark red almost black body. Weak roasted malt aroma and flavor with a bit of cocoa and caramel. Low carbonation, short aftertaste.
