Aug 16, 2005 Dark brown colour, not much of a head. Flowery, hoppy chocolatey nose. Sugary, dry, malty flavour with some spicyness and a light bitter finish. Sweet-ish palate. Not very long lasting aftertaste though.

May 25, 2007 Alcohol and caramel strong on the aroma. Nice burnt sugar- caramel malty flavour. Slightly thin mid-palate, but finishes with a really rounded mouthfeel.

Jun 20, 2009 bottle 500ml #310 EXP 130912 murky dark brown. Rich dark malts nutty kick of hops left, coffee chocolate chocolate. Tickling mouth feel presents in aftertaste with yeast. Hazy memories same year tap version over spiced one. This is all what you need on Christmas.

Dec 5, 2007 The snowflakes on this Winter Ale bottle label were a slight departure from the stark Nøgne Ø bottles seen before. The beer came out dark brown, and formed a four finger thick beige head. The smell was a wonderful symphony of raisins, plum, chocolate, and hops. The taste was similar, and felt a little like biting into a chocolate coated rum raisin candy from a Christmas gift tin. The finish was a little astringent-roasty and presented some mouth drying hops. A bit small and coarse in the mouthfeel department. Another winner from the brewery that refuses to disappoint.

Sep 4, 2009 This was an expensive beer at 5.99 for 500ml but I figured since the Imperial Stout was so good, why the fuck not? It looks like a porter to me, brown with a cocoa colored head. It also smells like a porter, roasty. Mouthfeel is silky and smooth. Taste is a little cocoa, oats, everything about this beer screams porter to me. This actually has nothing in common with the winter warmers I have had, I feel fucking deceived. I understand that beer from Norway has to cost more being an import but unfortunately this one is not worth the price unless you like obscure Norwegian porters like some kind of fucking nerd. Like me!
