Jan 21, 2008 Kronenbourg Bière de Noël, 5.5% 0.25l bottle courtesy of and shared with ozujsko (thanks!)
Didn’t even know they bottled this. Poured a brown (quite dark amber) colour with a medium sized white head. Lively carbonation, fizzy. A pleasant nose - malt, caramel, some fresh herbal hop. The taste is quite nice for Kronenbourg. Pleasant, bready, notes of a herbal, a touch acidic and dusty hopiness, notes of caramel, slighty woody, maybe even sweaty. Chalky hoppy bitter aftertaste. A nice little lager, more complex than I expected.

Jan 15, 2008 Bottled(250ml). -as Kronenbourg Biere de Noël, 5.5%

Malty, slight hoppy and spicy with strong alcoholic notes but in a good way. Stronger and surprisingly good Kronenbourg beer.

Apr 6, 2007 330 ml bottle. Clear dark golden body with a decent off-white head. Aroma has some caramel malt and a hint of bitter hops. Flavor is a bit sweet caramel malt, some bitterness and a relatively short aftertaste. Not very unlikely a typical Norwegian Christmas beer sold in regular shops = a Vienna style beer. Honestly I don’t compare this to a bock at all.

Jan 28, 2005 Lacks the subtlety of a number of other christmas beers. Brewed because they had to I guess. Reasonable colour and presentation but a borig beer overall.

May 4, 2004 I had this beer many years ago at one time when I was only giving ratings to the beers but was too lazy and stupid to write down my thoughts. I will update this as soon as I get my hands on this beer again.
