Jan 4, 2009 Bottle pours dark brown with a large quickly dissipating head. Aroma of chocolate and sweet yet acidic fruits maybe currant. Taste starts sweet most noticibly of dark dried fruits and roasted malts. Contains some sour notes and finishes moderatly dry with a good alcohol burn. Some hops do come through in the end.

Jan 3, 2009 Pour is a black with a Irish stout like tan head. Aroma is nice with some chocolate, coffee and a decent helping of hops. Flavor is again lots of black coffee with a decent hop profile. Finish is thick and warming. A very good but expensive beer experience.

Jan 3, 2009 Dark brown with a lush milky-tan head. Nose has some fantastic balance between sugary malt elements in chocolate and a nice, full spice. Flavor has a lot of milk chocolate sweetness, some smoke, light alcohol, spice. Sharp palate, moderate body. Unique and diverse, God Jul is high quality.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle into chalice. Pours a deep, opaque black, with a beautiful fluffy tan head that settles into a cap that never goes away. Nose is interesting - brown sugar and a bit of caramel, just a bit roasty, hints of cocoa and some spicy alcohol in there also. Taste is sweet, with caramel and brown sugar mixing it up with roasty malt, hints of coffee, and a bit of soy. Tons of really nice, smooth ultra-dark cocoa in there also towards the finish, which is light and roasty, but somewhat long, and with the cocoa still lingering as well. Mouthfeel is really well done also, creamy and plush. I would easily drink this again. And again.

Dec 30, 2008 Fab, man, fab! Really interesting play on characteristics. Poured with a big foamy frothy tan head with lots a lace. Very dark brown. Sweet yet dry; luscious yet stark, and bittersweet even so. Lots of bitter chocolate, coffee, dark ripe fruit, heavy hops. Lots going on here. Superb beer. Long finish. Not a session beer. But that’s ok.

Dec 30, 2008 Poured a dark color with about an inch head. This was a very smooth and easy drinking beer. Smelled very small hints of caramel, with some additional chocolate smells.
