Grebbestad Jul-Öl

Sample from bottle. Julölsprovning at Haket, Göteborg. Red/brown color. Aroma of sweet lightly roasted malt, brown sugar, raisins and some spiciness. The taste is mostly malty and sweet, lightly roasted and a bit perfume like. A bit above average compared too other similar swedish dark christmas lagers.

Bottle (with an ugly label...). Reddish brown colour with a medium tan head. Aroma is malty with some burned sugar and vegetables. Roasted, a bit burned flavour.

(50 cl bottle from Systembolaget)
Light roasted and chcolate with caramel scent, also a slight bit acidic. Clear red brown color, tan head. Malty and grainy taste with some chocolate hints. Spritzy mouthfeel. Medium bitterness.

(50 cl bottle at Carnegie Kaj Bar & Restaurang)
Tried as Carnegie Kaj Julöl.
Specially brewed by Grebbestad for the restaurant. Clear brown color, tan head. Sweet scent, sugary. Slightly roasted taste, mostly sweet. Roasted aftertaste. Some what metallic. A bit thin mouthfeel. Low bitterness.

Bottled (BB 03/2007)
Ruby red color, small steady off-white head. Lifht nose: hops, toasted malts. Palate is quite weak, dry roasted malty flavor. Overall dry, even metallic. Too watery to be actually good one.

Bottled (thanks gnoff!). Dark amber colour, small brown head. Aroma is sweet malts along with fruity hints. Flavour is samekind of bitterish sour as many of their other beers. Has some sugar, caramel and malts in it too. Unbalanced and a bit too "crispy" carbonation.
