Bottled (shared by omhper, thanks!). Amber colour, small off-white fluffy/bubbly head. Aroma is fruity, a bit wooden, resiny and sappy with quite strong caramel notes. Flavour is wooden, mildly toasted toffee, some caramel and a bit fruity as well. Pleasantly bitter flavour.

Bottle @ Ulfborg Weekend, Jan 2011. Pours cloudy amber with a small creamy white head. Spices, bread and caramel. Yeasty flavor with notes of caramel and bread. Medium bodied.

Bottle, 75cl. A gusher, producing an unclear, brown body and a foamy, two-finger head. Pleasant nose with roased malts, some chocolate and coffee and notes of hops. Big, malty flavor with chocolate, roasted malts and a little bitterness trying to bring balance. Not that it’s balanced, but it’s very tasty anyway. Full-bodied and nicely carbonated. A pleasant and tasteful beer indeed, but it didn’t bring thoughts of Christmas. Not that I will refrain from drinking it just because of that. 110311

Bottle. Amber colour with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, grain, caramel. Flavour is butterscotsch, caramel, roasted malt, hop, grain. OK beer.

750ml bottle, brygg nr.42, from Fenaknoken. Light brown head that stayed well and left spotty lacing to the glass. Partly cloudy, dark-brown body. Aroma displays chocolate and caramel malts. Fine blended taste of brown malts, raisin hints and dusty hops. Rounded bitter sweet tail. Medium bodied. Pity that it is not more widely distributed in Norway. Would have been perfect with our traditional Yuletide food. (at my hotel room in Oslo, 25.11.2010).

Gusher. Huge beige head. Hazy reddish amber body with strong carbonation and small floaties. Earthy spicy aroma is sort of flat. Dry-sweetish roasty earthy chocolatey taste with fruity resiny notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, faintly oily mouthfeel. Dry roasty nutty spicy aftertaste with earthy chocolate notes and faint mealy coffee grounds. Nice, but unspectacular. (0.75l bottle, Fenaknoken, Oslo. Batch #42.)

Bottle. A gusher. Coffee, caramel, cocoa and Christmas spices. Nice balance, but lacks a little depth and body.
