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.

Dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma is malty with a nice refreshing yeasty touch. Flavour is very malty and round with notes of chocolate, caramell and nuts. Ends on a lightly dry note with lingering hops and caramell sweetness. Very well balanced with a very smooth medium body.

500 ml. Opaque blackish-brown color, creamy tan head. Hoppy aroma. Fairly hoppy, bitter flavor with roasted malts and coffee. Full body, medium carbonation. Not bad.

Dark reddish/brown pour. Aroma is yeasty, dates, raisins, spices, cookies. Flavor is malty and full of dark dried fruit, spices, light chocolate, toffee and some light nutiness too. Good.

Bottle. Pours a rich, deep black. Aroma is plastic coffee and chocolate dust. Flavor is a seemingly oxidized mess of bitter chocolate malt and stale floral hops. Weak on the tongue. Avoid.

Bottle pours a deep mahogany body with a thick cocoa hued head that leaves sheet lacing wheni it finally subsides. Aroma has roast coffee, dark fruits(figs and dates), anise, and chocolate. Full body is supported by a coating and smooth carbonation. Taste is dominated by coffee notes. Chocolate and anise are evident. Dark fruits, mostly prunes, linger in the back ground. Finishes with roasty coffee notes. Excellent winter porter.

Bottle. Pours deep dark brown with a long lasting tan head. Sweet aroma, honey with bitter chocolate and nutmeg. Definite sweet caramel and chocolate flavor, a touch of underlying hop bitterness, cinnamon and a some other spice in there also. Very sticky and thick. Very good, this is almost a stout but lacking that roasted flavor.

Bottle split with Dallas. Pours a dark brown, practically black with small off-white lacing. The aroma is sweet cinnamon, fruity, and slight chocolate roast. Taste is chocolate malt, spicy mouthfeel with notes of chocolate and caramel.

Pours a coffee black with minimal, off white head. Nose smells like a spiced stout with notes of cinnamin and chocolate. Very smooth taste. Flavors of stout, mild seasonal spices, and chocolate come through in a nice blend. Slightly alcoholly but pleasant. Very nice beer.
