Årets juleøl er et pirrende øl med spennende smaker, litt utenom det vanlige. Sammensetningen av ulike krydder gir et fyldig øl som passer like bra til julematen som til andre retter i adventstida og romjula. Den kan til og med "stå på egne ben" som fortet eller aperitiff. Sjenkes i sin helhet over i et glass, og la bunnfallet være igjen på flaska.

Bottle, from the source. A quite spiced one, star anise seems to be the star of the show, followed by cloves and ginger. Lightly roasted, with licorice and burnt notes. Lacks a bit on body, as expected from a beer this strength, and I find the spices to be a bit unbalanced, again, probably due to the ABV and body fullness. But overall, a decent brew. 646312 251226

50cl bottle from Cunningham - thanks a lot! Same bottle as Cunningham, but now with less carbonation, but still a bit fizzy mouth feel. Pours hazy brown with a small, white head. Mild malty aroma with Christmas spices dominating. Fair enough. --- Beer merged from original tick of Toftebrygg on 05 Aug 2020 at 21:21 - Score: 5

Oh holy Madonna…..this one really wanted to get out of the bottle A lot of it ended on my table…..not in my glass It is so fizzy that it is hard to say something wise and clever. Hazed dark golden pour with a damned big head Aroma ehh hmm lots of caramel malt A quite decent sweetness Toffee, fruity and some spices in the flavor Would maybe been quite ok with a normal carbonation level [Bottle from The Brewery]
