Can. Burnt caramel, in an aftificial way. Toffee, coffee grit and a decent sweetness. Nuttiness chiming in, like stale walnuts and not-too-good pecans. Okay, there's some kind of Christmas feeling here, but not in the way I'd prefer. 445410 260220

Can from Gulating. Slightly unclear golden body under a big, foamy white head. Aroma has malt with distinct caramel and toffee. Taste is sweet malt with roasted, slightly bitter caramel. Not as sweet as expected at all. In the world of extreme sweet pastry beers with artificial flavours this is quite different. More towards a kind of old-fashioned approach, if you put it that way. It does not taste like these typical kind of classic Christmas beer with caramel malt either, this is more like a golden ale or something added with Werther's Original caramel candies. Unusually but quite nice actually. Medium body and a rather dry, caramel finish.
