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.

jesperhammer (1294) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - NOV 4, 2011

03-NOV-2011, draft @Mikkeller on ØJ dag. Black with low beige head. First aroma is smoke. Had this several times before and do not remember the smoke. Really nice roasted and dry with that smokey element. Not like a smoked but still with a smoked element. Creamy, smooth with quite high carbonation. Really a fine beast.

eczematic (1284) - Sydney, AUSTRALIA - JAN 24, 2006

muddy dark brown, with a thin head . i got the chunks at the bottom of the bottle which were nice and flocculant fortunately and settled quickly. what a rich beer. like gouden carolus mixed with andechser doppelbock. sweet, round, filling chocolate and whisky and fruit and supersmooth malt luxuriousness. i’m sure this would make a lot of sense in the middle of a 22hour xmas night in Norway. a wallowable dessert beer.
