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.

Full roast coffee nose, deep brown, tiny toffee head. Flavour is a big hit of coffee and a dark chocolate influence. Full bodied, balanced, very bitter. Really quite good!

Somehow, I think I would’ve enjoyed it even more as "God Jul". Anyway, Dark brown, with a big brown head. Some notes of milk chocolate, some mellow herbal notes. Surprisingly clean finish. Very tasty.
