UPDATED: FEB 17, 2023 Bottled. Amber colour with a mediumsized off-white head, which also leaves some lace. Aroma is sweet malts, some floral, mild wooden and some herbal tones. Flavour is sweet caramel and biscuity malts with some toffee, mild floral and some nutty tones. Low ABV, and not very exciting as such.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2022 Den dufter af Bock under det svage flygtige hvide skum. Den smager også som en Bock efter de bedste münchener tradition, hvor der ikke snydes på vægten ved at iblande sukker i den gode karamelmalt. Malten har udover karamel også en twist af appelsinskal, der runder fint af sammen med en aromatiske humling i perfekt balance med maltsiden. Sådan skal en julebryg være.

UPDATED: NOV 23, 2020 Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear amber with a rich, off-white head with good retention and lacing. Again somewhat dusty aroma, not much malty richness coming through. Medium body, some sweet, biscuity malts, slightly toasty and nutty with a good bitter finish. At the low end for a Bock, but well made. 231120

UPDATED: DEC 5, 2019 God bock, og så er alt sagt. Middel i karakter. Er den bedre end andre julebock? Ja, men kun lige. Julen er til stede i form af appelsinskaller. Appelsinskallerne kommer mest frem i en syrlig eftersmag. Kan anbefales.

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2019 50cl Bottle @ Boxbeers.com, Copenhagen, Denmark. Light brown colour with a thin white head. Aroma is malt, sweet, nuts, dark fruits, hints of spices. Taste is malt, caramel, nuts, raisins, spices, slightly boozy. Medium body, average carbonation.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2019 500 ml bottle. From my advent calendar (boxbeers.dk). Enjoyed on Dec 25 2018. Clear dark amber color with a tiny ring. Sweet malty aroma with some alcohol and metal notes. Dry malty flavor with metal, mild bitterness, bread and dryness. Not very seasonal.

UPDATED: JAN 13, 2017 Bottle. Pours hazy amber with beige head. Aroma has malt with bread, caramel and is slightly fruity and sweet. Also some esters and hints of spices. Taste is sweet, malty with caramel, dark bread and notes of spice yet estery and fruity. Texture is medium carbonation with a dry yeasty finish. Not quite a bock hence the noticable esters and hazyness. Maybe not the best batch of this beer.
