Pours a two finger light tan head that fades slowly to a ring leaving some lace. Mahogany/amber color. Good carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Molasses nose. Starts sweet molasses flavor, finish is malty with hints of bitterness in aftertaste. $1.79 for a 330ml bottle from Lina’s Beverages Painesville, OH.

Dark and malty, but still fresh tasting. one of the better of the Norwegian mainstream juleøl. More a bock than a vienna, so the classification is correct.

Sampled at a testing session of Norwegian Christmas beers in Tromsø last Friday. This is one of the better ones this year. Has got a creamy off-white head over an amber-brown body. Sweet malty aroma. Rich amount of burnt sweet malt in flavour supported by a welcoming touch of fruity tartness. There is also an ale-like component in the background. Well balanced. A classical Norwegian Yuletide beer and absolutly a candidate for the meat at xmas eve (08.12.2006).

Bottle. Clear brown color, good beige head. Strange aroma of (no kidding) old cheese(!) Not very offensive, but unusual. Toasted sweetish malt flavors, low hopbitterness. Sticky palate. Short, medium dry finish. Aass Bryggeri is known to make Christmas seasonals with a high quality level... I didn’t really enjoy this years (cheesy) version so much.
