Nøgne Ø A Christmas Carol is a version of Nøgne Ø Ekstra God Jul from 2021 that has matured for one year in Oloroso sherry barrels. The barrels offer an almost honey sweet fruit compote where dried cherries are most prominent in the taste. A rich beer that deserves to round off the perfect Christmas dinner!

Well stored bottle @ home. Close to black body under a short living beige head. Strong and nice aroma of dark, roasted malt, dry fruit, wood and vinous alcohol in nice, not boozy way. Taste is smooth, dark, roasted malt, dry fruit, chocolate, espresso coffee, port, good bitterness and delicate, complex alcohol sting. Full bodied with very long lasting aftertaste. I’m always surprised when a beer at this alcohol strength manage to taste so nice and balanced, the alcohol part seems to just be one of the flavors with interesting complexity. Nice one.

Bottle. An unclear dark brown to black beer with a moderate sized beige head. Curtains. There's a good dash of alcohol on the nose, but not in a pushing way, more in a vinous way. Dried fruit, oxidation and oak hints, caramel sauce, some dark chocolate and coffee and a dash of roasted malts too. Booze soaked dried fruit. It's full-bodied, warming and quite carboated on the palate, sweet, but with a certain bitterness. Booze soaked dried fruit, dark chocolate, some roasted malts and coffee and a good vinous punch in the flavor. Oak, alcohol, tannins and some bitterness as well. Lasting warming, sweet but not too sweet finish with lots of delicious flavors. A bit heavy on the carbonation this one, but at the same time that feels nice when swirling the beer in the mouth, else it's sure a delicious beer for Christmas and most other occasions. 230426
