Jingle Bells is a lovely copper-coloured brown ale with tons of depth and heat. We use six different malts, all of which contribute something different to the Christmas beer, lending it great body and complexity.
Jingle Bells has a wonderful fragrance of toffee, chocolate and coffee that comes from the six different malts we used. There is also a distinctive bouquet of cinnamon and vanilla. The taste is full-bodied and warm with toffee and chocolate notes. It is topped off with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. It is, quite simply, liquid Christmas in a bottle.
All in all, it is a wonderful Christmas beer that is an excellent accompaniment to any sweet Christmas goodies.

75 cL bottle. Pours deep orange with yellowish/white head. Clear citric and yeasty smell, elements of classical danish christmas cookie spices (brunkage). Beer is very orange-ctric tasting when cold but goes into a very brun-kage like taste as it gets warmed up. Much like Nørrebro Bryghus’ Juleale - just not as cloying. But honestly - drop making cookies on bottles - I’ll take a cookie and a coffee when I need it :)

A deep red beer with a slight haze under a thin off-white head. The aroma is very sweet with strong spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves, and pine needles - reminds me a bit of Anchors OSA, but also hints of a chemical. The flavor is very sweet again with very strong spicy notes, cinnamon, cloves, all spice, and lots of pine needles - kind of a combination of Anchors OSA and a thick layer of cinnamon sugar on risengrød. OK, but a bit too spicy for my taste.

(Kerstbier) Dark brown with quickly disappearing white head. The beer has a medium body and taste and smells of cinnamon. Citrus and oranges. It looks unattractive in the glass and too much cinnamon for my taste!

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy dark amber with a small, off-white head. Weirdly composed nose of sour grapes and spices. Sweetish malty flavour with spicy notes with cardamom and perhaps cloves sticking out. 151105

On tap at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Hazy, orange color with a beige/tan head. Sweet fruits and cloves in aroma. A little too thin and not enough "warming" for a christmas beer. Some bitterness rounds off the sweet and cloves flavor. Rating: 7-4-6-2-14-3.3. 051029
Bottle. It’s a clear, dark brown beer with a finger-thick off-white to beige head leaving lacings. Caramel, raisin notes, cellar hints and a herbal touch. Slightly roasted. The flavor is roasted with caramel and dried fruits. A pleasant bitterness towards the end. Full body. A quite nice one, nuts and dried fruits would be nice with it I think. 110219
