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.

Eructoblaster (2513) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 16, 2013
Bottle - 500ml. Dark brown body with a fair beige foamy head. Nice malty/hoppy aroma with and interesting mix of spicy, citrusy, and cinnamon hints. Its well balanced taste carries brown sugar, vineous, and oaky notes. Ends with a robust, warming bittersweet finish. Good stuff.

AKSalmon (69) - Norfolk, ENGLAND - JUN 7, 2013
This one I very deep dark amber in appearance with a lasting tan head. The aroma is a chocolate caramel with a little fruit cake. It’s taste is dark chocolate with some dates. It flows across the palate smooth with some carbonation. Overall yet again a other fine brew from Nøgne ø.

50cl bottle poured into a pint glass. Deep amber with ample tan head. Aroma is milk chocolate and coffee. Flavor is the same with a bittersweet finish. Thick palate with moderate to high carbonation. Nice. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Color caoba oscuro con reflejos rojizos. Espuma beige. Aromas a chocolate, café y especias. En boca encontramos esos mismos elementos con un final amargo achocolatado y equilibrado. Un buen trago!!!

johndoughty (3293) - cheslyn hay, West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 1, 2013
Bottle. Black with a medium head that took some time to dissipate. Flavour was a cross between chocolate and coffee with a hint of bitterness.An excellent beer that was so easy to drink.

aenima (69) - Askim, SWEDEN - APR 22, 2013
Aroma of coffee and licorice. Taste of coffee, chocolate, caramel and licorice in a nice balance. Good beer but in a blindtest I think I would have guessed it was a stout.

Dette blir mer en generell rating.2011 årgangen var fantastisk.nsmakte som en god porter, toppet i de fleste aviser. Rund og fin. 2012 ble det inn med røykmalt, den falt ikke i smak for egen del, 2013 back to basic?
