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.

Nothing really wowed me about this one, but it was better than the Peculiar Ale. Mahogany pour produces a sandy brown head, 1/2 height. Minimal aroma that is reminiscent of Nestle Quik and raisins. Fairly moderate flavor, as well...with subtle chocolate, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Just a hint of spice. Not aggressive, not impressive.

Crushed with Jakebra. Nice brew. These guys have yet to disappoint. Even though it’s 75 degrees here at the beginning of February, it’s still nice and warming infront of a fireplace. Impressed by the hop presence on the nose. Medium-bodied which is pretty cool. Nice mouthfeel and good flavor. Prety sexy brew.

2007 Bottle - What a great experience, unlike anything else I have tasted. Pours a murky dark almost black with a tan 1" head. Soy sauce, and olive on the front end, bitter astringent coffee hop finale. At first I thought that the alcohol was hidden, but now as I drink it, I realize that as it warms, it also seemingly fortifies. A jolly good brew that would have been better closer to christmas...

[Bottle from oh6gdx, cheers!] I was sure I had rated this, but apprently not, hurrah! Pours dark with a thick, tan head. Aroma is spicey (cloves) and chocolatey, roasty notes and a faint touch of smoke. Full, soft body with a dry, spicey, chocolate finish. 8.5% very well concealed.

pours a jet foamy black with a medium size foamy khaki head, some lacing too. smell is of dark fruit, cocoa, spice, and a whiff of caramel. taste is smooth, chocolate, some spice, coffee, some caramel, a little licorice, sweetness is hiding in the back. overall very stoutish

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.

Bottle from Capone’s. Pours dark brown with a small light brown head. Aroma of caramel and chocolate, slight spice. Taste is complex, chocolate comes through along with roasted malt, toffee, roasted nuts, chocolate and slight spice and hop bitterness on the finish. Solid beer.

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.
