Holmen1 (1075) - NORWAY - DEC 25, 2012
Flaske delt med Einar 1.juledag: lite aroma og lite skum. Tynn smak som avslutter noe metallisk. Litt krydret ettersmak.

Gutifa (97) - Bad Wurzach, GERMANY - DEC 23, 2012
Dark brown with two fingers of creamy head. Difficult to find something in aroma, maybe some spices. Malty and nutty in mouth, with some smoke. A good "low alcohol" christmas beer.

visionthing (1637) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 19, 2012
50cl bottle from Meny Løren. Pours slightly hazy dark brown with beige head. Lightly spicy and malty aroma with some roasted notes, caramel, anise and hints of smoke. Medium body. Sweet, a bit caramelly and roasty with a fairly dry and lightly bitter finish. Decent Christmas beer at this alcohol strength.

magnuskjensen (12) - - DEC 15, 2012
Shared bottle at Christmas beer tasting 15.12.12. Red-copper color, little to no head, sweet, malty slightly sour aroma. Slightly unpleasent bitterness with hints of detergent, malts dominate the taste but it finishes way to thin for a beer of this style.

Gr0ve (2038) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 8, 2012
500 ml bottle. Dark brown. Clear. Small off-white head. Nutty aroma with spicy toffee notes. Black pepper, cinnamon and a little caradamom. Waffles. Dry powdery texture. Light bodied, but there’s enough things happening here for the beer to be interesting. There’s something Belgian here, but not overly typical.
