COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the US this is called "Winter Ale".

A dark ale brewed specially for the Christmas season, with a rich, complex taste of caramel. This is a strong, dark and rather sweet Christmas Beer – just the way we think a Christmas beer should be.

Recommended serving temperature 12°C/53°F. Great with cheese or nuts. Ingredients: Lager, Munich, caramel, black, and chocolate malt; Chinook, Columbus, and Centennial hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water.

19°P, 30 IBU, 8.5 % ABV.

Man är ursäktad om man råkar pynta det här ölet i lite för många överord. Har man väl börjat är det omöjligt att sluta. Så utomordentligt utsökt är det. Lyckas man redogöra för smaksensationen predenterar man på en stol i Svenska Akademien. Nøgne Ø God Jul är onekligen något att hänga i granen.
