Dark brown colour with medium head.Aroma of dry fruits and spices.Flavor of caramel and and rosted malt.Slight bitter finish.

Rating #1000. 50 cl bottle courtesy fonefan, best before 13.07.07. First off, why a simple Christmas Brown Ale that isn’t highly rated for 1000? My ratebeer journey began 5 and a half years ago while searching for info on Norwegian Juleol. I have yet to track down on e of those, but Jan was kind enough to track this one down for me well past the Christmas season. So Scandinavian Christmas beer will suffice.

Dark mahogany colour with a fully lasting creamy and and frothy off-white head. Caramel, bread, light citrus fruit, and light cinnamon aroma. Light caramel, dark rye bread, caraway, and persimmon flavours with a dry, dark chocoalte, fruity, and nutty bitter and light alcohol finish. As it warms, develops some banana bread character. Full bodied, rich mouthfeel. Like an overspiced dark fruit cake soaked in a bit too much rum. Not exactly to my personal tastes, but a contemplative and interesting beer. And for this milestone, I’m happy with my choice.

Deep amber of color with a creamy beige head. An aroma of caramel, smoke, spice and sweet malt. A flavor of caramel and hints of smoke. Round and smoothy.

This mahogany red beer has a moderate head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt/caramel and a hint of smoke. I find the same notes in the flavour, that also has a brief hint of licorice. The finish is harsh/bitter in an offensive way, and it gets worse if it’s not cold.

Heavy malty aroma.Huge creamy light brown head. Excellent lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear amber body. Moderate bitter initial flavor. Average duration. Medium to full palate.

50 cL bottle. Pours dark amber with light brown lasting head. Malty aroma with caramel and some spice notes as well. Taste is bitter and sweet, hops and roasted malts. I sense a smoke note too. Bitter aftertaste - seems a bit watery. Average.

Bottle.50cl. Strong head, rocking color, amber, roasty, hay, it is like a bock *2. Full body, creamy, long finish.

Bottled. Malty aroma with grass and toffee. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Light sweet, pretty bitter, raisin, caramel, herbs, malty. Little sticky and dry finish. More like a German Bock than a Brown Ale.
