Mack Juleøl 1936

On tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø. Dark brown coloured. A small tanned head. Malty aroma and a sweet malty flavor with hints of nuts and fruit. A modest bitter finish.

500ml on tap at Ølhallen, Tromsø. Unfiltered and unpasteurised. The brewmaster at the Mack Brewery found an old xmas beer receipt from 1936 (50 EBU, 43 EBC) in the archive and brewed 500 litres, only to be sold at Ølhallen. So when most visitors at the hall had the new spring- or summer lagers from Mack, we went for this xmas brew.
Inviting, deep rusty brown body colour under a filmy, white layer. Smell of lightly sweet malts. Flavour has got good hints of roasted caramel and dark fruits. Light bittersweet finish. Refreshing, but a bit overcarbonated (28.04.2007).
