Commercial Description:
In the US this is called "Winter Ale".

A dark ale brewed specially for the Christmas season, with a rich, complex taste of caramel. This is a strong, dark and rather sweet Christmas Beer – just the way we think a Christmas beer should be.

Recommended serving temperature 12°C/53°F. Great with cheese or nuts. Ingredients: Lager, Munich, caramel, black, and chocolate malt; Chinook, Columbus, and Centennial hops; English ale yeast, and our local Grimstad water.

19°P, 30 IBU, 8.5 % ABV.

pours out a deep brown color with nearly no head. aroma is malty and sweet. flavor has a nice malt back bone to with with a somewhat sweet and bitter finish. Hard to describe this beer, but it was a good one.

Winter ale bottle, I believe it was via trade. Pours dark dark pretty much black with a tan head. Nose is roasted and sweet but light on the aroma. Taste is sweet malty and overall quite tasty.

Very dark pour, with a thick mocha head. Looks like a porter. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and alcohol, and a tiny bit of hops. Flavour is thick, and loaded with roasted malt, and some caramel, but ends with a big alcohol wallop. A definitive sipper.

Brewed in Norway !! This ale pours a dark brown / black color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate. The taste is of dark malts, chocolate, spices, and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is robust and kind of sweet but finishes a bit on the dry side. This was a yummy brew from Nogne...... :)

Dark and scary looking. Almost glutinous as it comes out of the bottle. Sticky, sweet, thick, cloying. Pretty unpleasant.

22oz bottle. Very dark pour, tan head. Not much of an aroma really, can’t make much out. Pretty good flavor, dark and fruity, not bad.
