500ml rather expensive bottle from Meny Oslo City. Fair amount of bubbly, fawn-coloured head. Clear red-brown body colour. On the nose I got spices, herbal hops and caramel malts. Almond, anise, and earth malty flavours. Roasted malty ending, mid-sweet and mid-dry. Medium to thin bodied. Quite drinkable with seasonal qualities (hotel room, Oslo 12.12.2013).

Aroma: Chocolate and Christmas spices.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and some bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: A bit sweet. Caramel malt and some roasted malt with a fine blend of Christmas spices.
Overall impression: Feels like a light edition of Nøgne Ø Underlig jul. Lovely norwegian grocery store Christmas ale.

50cl bottle from Varnaveien mineralvann, Moss. Pours clear dark brown with a reddish hue and an off-white head. Spicy and malty aroma with some roasty notes. Medium sweet with flavour of malt, caramel and spices and a lightly bitter and spicy finish. Anise seems to be the most easy recognizable spice and it fits quite well. Balanced and easy to drink with more flavour and not so much carbonated caramel water with alcohol feel that some of the Norwegian industrial Christmas brews give.

Fra flaske på Cardinals juleøltreff nov-12: dette var heller tynne saker. Ingern minneverdig opplevelse, men det var en kveld med mange øl i ypperste klasse, så jeg bør prøve noen andre fra dette bryggeriet. Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff jan -13: lite aroma, men behagelig og myk kryddersmak. Kort ettersmak. Opp fra 1.8 som jeg opprinnnelig ga den. Fra flaske, DSJT på Cardinal nov-13: kveldens eneste over bordkanten-ølet. Her er der virkelig ingenting som setter meg i førjulsstemning. Ned til 1.7. Enda et nytt forsøk, fra flaske på Cardinal, DSJT nov-14: ingen bedring å spore siden i fjor. Denne er rett og slett ikke god.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate off-white head. Distinct aroma of Christmas spices, some roasty notes too, hints of woodwork. Light bodied. Quite dry flavour, roasty notes, hints of spices, bitter hops in the finish and aftertaste.

500 ml bottle. A nice, clear amber body with a fine beige head. Aroma is malty with spices like cloves, anises and maybe some cinnamon? Not so easy to detect the type of spices, but it gives a nice impression of Christmas without being to overwhelming, I think that’s important with a beer at this low alcohol level. Flavor is mild caramel malt, moderate bitterness and the same spicy feeling that comes from the aroma. Medium to thin body and the aftertaste gives some kind of dry/powder feeling from the spices. A decent Christmas beer that are allowed to sell in Norwegian groceries.

Bottle, thx to Beer2000. It pours a clear, reddish brown body under a dense, diminishing, beige head. There’s a faint acidic note in the aroma, with a solid dose of cloves and some licorice. Anise instead maybe, hard to tell. The flavor is semi-sweet with some caramel and a lightly spiced touch, cloves mostly. Smooth on the palate, but a bit thin. Roasted, spiced finish. Well, not my first choice of Christmas beer, but an honest and decent beer anyway. Brave to go for a spiced one in this part of Norway. 120116
