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.

The aroma has hops, coffee, caramel and burned malt. It’s dark like a stout, and the flavor is very malty with tones of hops and some burned flavors.

Pour basically black with a tan head. Smell is rich, bittersweet malt, cocoa. Taste is similar and more like a thin bodied porter with an added very subtle, but well blended spice component. More chocolatey and dark with a faint spice perhaps. This is actually very enjoyable. Some definite sweetness, but it is a bit bitter and dry enough in the finish to make it easily drinkable. One of the better beers from them, actually and not a style I typically am crazy for.

Bottle, pours a dark brown, almost black body with light brown head. Aroma of malts, spices, and a hint of bourbon. Flavor of burnt malts, dark fruit, and spices. Medium bodied.

Bottle pours black with tan head. Aroma is leather and roasted malts. Has a full mouthfeel. Flavor is complex. Leather, dark roasted malts, currant, bread, coffee, and slight licorice flavor. Overall a really nice brew.

Extremely dark brown pour with modest beige head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, citrus, and cream. Dark fruit slips in there with subtlety. Flavor is roasty and sweet. Coffee, chocolate, raisin, a slight alcohol presence, and a bit of roast. Palate is silk and velvet. Very roasty and dry finish. Very nice.

This guy is a keeper, and a horrible monster who would darken my Christmas if I ever drank it during that holiday. Thick like cough syrup, and dark enough that people with coughs would begin leaping out of windows if this was the only remedy. Would be a porter if it wasn’t so impossibly sweet - thick with date syrup and brown sugar. Heavy on charcoal and dark nutmeg.

Pours a dark dark, brown with a bit of a dark brown head. Smells of burnt coffee beans. Very smooth caramel toffee flavor with a hint of hops in the finish good winter warmer.

Brewed in Norway !! This ale pours a dark brown / black color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate. The taste is of dark malts, chocolate, spices, and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is robust and kind of sweet but finishes a bit on the dry side. This was a yummy brew from Nogne...... :)
