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.

JaBier (2999) - Capital City, Ohio, USA - JAN 13, 2009

Bottle. Pours a cloudy light brown with a big beige head. Malty aroma with a bit of hop, nut and spice. Sweet and spiced malt flavor up front with a dryer hop finish. Pretty good and well worth the risk.

1FastSTi (2990) - Glendale, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 11, 2006

Thanks Jason. The beer pours to a dark brown body with a tan/brown head. The aroma is similar to Anchor OSA. Raisins, woodsy, coffee, spices. The flavor is sweet stoutish with oatmeal, chocolate, dry roastyness, seasonal spices, seems to be barrel aged. The palate is alcoholic, smooth, very easy drinking. Awesome. I want more.

thornecb (2961) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 7, 2007

Pours mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head recedes to skim surface. Sour pit fruit and alcohol aromas. Creamy and sweet upfront with a thin, lasting bitter chocolate and espresso finish.

PilsnerPeter (2958) - Flushing, New York, USA - DEC 27, 2010

Tap at Sunswick: Murky brown with a tan head. Nice malty aroma. Good balance and depth. Has a toasted cocoa and nutty note. Creamy nice body. Nice malt depth in the flavor. Toasted and rich, yet dry. Smooth almost coffeeish roast, cocoa notes (crystal malt). Chocolaty, raisiny and toasted. Nice.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a deep brown almost black with a small light tan head. Aromas of cocoa dust, dark fruits, and toasted malts. Flavors held pitted fruits, caramel, light chocolate, and a nice hop bite. Another great one from Nogne-0

SSSteve (2923) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - NOV 21, 2007

black with a large creamy brown head. big hoppy aroma with some chocolate, caramel and coffee. flavor is a good blend of many flavors. lots of chocolate/coffee, some sweet buttery caramel, and a pretty big hop addition. medium bodied. bittersweet. nicely done as usual from the norwegian fellers.
