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.

(Bottle) Very dark brown colour with ruby hints through light. Frothy, lasting, brown head, leaving traces of lacing. Roasted, malty, spicy nose with chocolate, clove, ginger, citrus and dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, Christmas spices (ginger, clove), gingerbread cake, juniper berries, Seville orange and a hint of tar and smoke. Full body, rather sweet, with a hint of alcohol lingering in the background. Lovely beer, leaning in the porter direction. These uncompromising Norwegians never seem to let me down. Keep ’em coming.

Batch 260. Pours dark brown, nearly black with little creamy bubbly white/brown head. Aroma and taste of roasted malts - caramel, coffee, hops & bitter chocolate. Spices & easy smoke. Soft & filling texture. Great bitter lasting finish. Truly wonderfull.

Thanks again to Drewbeerme for another great newcomer. Tipical Stout style with more hops and caramel than ususal, smells sweet but palate is very dry and even salty. Smokey finish with some underlying dark fruits. Goes great with cheese.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a deep brown almost black with a small light tan head. Aromas of cocoa dust, dark fruits, and toasted malts. Flavors held pitted fruits, caramel, light chocolate, and a nice hop bite. Another great one from Nogne-0

Bottle. Very dark brown, almost black, with a whitish head. The aroma has some of chocolate, coffee and nuts, a bit roasty also. Medium body and I dont notice that much alcohol in it for being that strong. Smooth finish
