Haandbryggeriet Romjul

50cl bottle from Meny Liertoppen. Pours brown with a medium beige head. Aroma of spicy red fruits and roasted malts. Ok Christmas beer that can be enjoyed all year

14.12.2007, 0,5l Bottle. Brown colour with dark off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt and spicy hops.

Darkbrown of color with a small beige head. An aroma of prunes, dark fruits, sweets and nuts. A flavor of toffee, dark fruits, roasted malt, liqurice and a bitter finish.

Batch no. 102, brewed in Oct. 07, 500ml bottle by courtesy of Knut Albert. Pours a crystal clear, rosewood body under a thin ring of bubbles. Rather tranquil aroma of sweet, nutty malts. The flavour has got more to offer, starting with roasted dark malts followed by raisin and blackcurrant, and finally developing into a dry, bitter ending of liquorice. Medium bodied. Pleasurable [enjoying the Yuletide mood on a dark eve at home in Tromsø, 26.12.2008].

Moderate malty aroma. Large frothy, light brown head. Good lacing. Cloudy amber body. Heavy bitter and light smoked. Medium palate.

Bottle@Home. Licorice wood, roasted, clove and other spices. Brown colour, beige head, good lace. Sweet, roasted, lightly spiced, bitter especially towards the finish. Dusty mouthfeel. Out of balance, some flavours are dominating though not strong in a wrong way.

Pours dark amber with a film. Aroma of ryebread. Flavour again ryebread, sweet and malty. Quite watery.

Bottle from ICA, Oslo. Pours Clear brown with small beige head. Spicy aroma with red fruits. Spicy taste as well with well balanced tartness. Low carbonation. Proof that a seasonal Christmasbeer can be great in august too!
