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.

hellomynameis (867) - Mayer, Minnesota, USA - JUL 7, 2007

This was quite possibly my favorite christmas beer. Brown color with a tan head. Some sweetness of chocolate and caramel, a bit of fruit and a bit of spice. Quite a bit going on here, great mouth-feel with chocolate, lots of malts - roasted, chocolate - some caramel and toffee. Interesting and complex.

Tmoney99 (6894) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - NOV 11, 2007

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured dark brown color with an average fizzy brown head that lasted and produced good lacing. Heavy complex toasted nutty malt and alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a sticky texture. Heavy balanced nutty bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout beer.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours dark brown with a small light brown head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate, slight spice. Taste is complex, chocolate comes through along with roasted malt, toffee, roasted nuts, chocolate and slight spice and hop bitterness on the finish. Solid beer.

Sammy (5888) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 14, 2007

IThis black ale is a cross between a porter (albeit some coca-cola taste from the carmel etc.), a stout from some toasted barley, a dark ale, shwartzbeir, and an underlying citrus without being overhopped. Well done! chose this as #2100 review, as this brewery is up and coming and I’m really enjoying what they produce.

pours out a deep brown color with nearly no head. aroma is malty and sweet. flavor has a nice malt back bone to with with a somewhat sweet and bitter finish. Hard to describe this beer, but it was a good one.

Lou18 (1353) - West Paterson, New Jersey, USA - MAR 3, 2007

Bottle poured a brown with full head. Nose was chocolate, much more then I expected. Taste had some lactose, more like a stout/porter to me. Loved this baby, no presence of %. Lactose in here, as well.

Dorqui (1547) - Brescia, ITALY - JUN 3, 2007

UPDATED: SEP 13, 2007 Bottled. Black color, much dense and mellow one. Much lively nut haed; optimal fullness and resistance. Extremely alcoholic and flowery scent with decided vinous and stum notes. Dense, harmonious, solid and perfumed taste. Notes of smoked wood, red eged wine and floral final.
