Aarhus Bryghus Juletønden (the Chrismas Barrel) is the stronger of our two Christmas seasonals. At 8% it goes very well with the traditional Danish Christmas dinner: Duck, goose or pork roast with white and brown (caramelized) potatoes, red beet kraut, loads of thick gravy and finally pickled cucumbers. The fat and acetic meal kills any wine. It has always been tradition in Denmark to drink beer.
The beer helps digest the greasy food. The carbon dioxide also helps.
In Danish households everyone drank beer, and every household would brew their own beer. The beer for Christmas was brewed especially, and every household would brew the best they could for Christmas. This beer was called the Christmas Barrel

Bottle that Marko brought along, had this in the company of Jonas, Ursula and Marko Saturday 8th February 2025 at home, Manglham cooking Lasagna later and listening to ByteFM. Loz has made three different types of bread and a Gooseberry Crumble Cake. Pours dirty brown with an off white/light beige head. Good Doppelbock, caramel and toffee merge nicely with a pleasant spiciness. Nice mouthfeel I really like this, nice dark chocolate touches throughout.

Bottle. Chestnut. Malt, caramel. Soft, smooth, round; fizzy. Deep caramel. Rather sweet, but this is drinkable. Not bad.

Bottle. Hazy red chestnut, offwhite lace. Juicy, caramel roast, well balanced with a good amount of aromatic hops, nice balance. Lovely juicy thing.

0.6l bottle, huge thanks H! Shared at the Mangled Ham tasting! Hazy cola body, off-white, thick head. Creamy, caramelly aroma, floral, bit herbal, soft, pleasant. Lean, dry taste, caramelly, solid herbal bitterness, growing and overtaking the beer. BIt much. Otherwise okay.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 for sharing! The beer starts smooth and sweetish. Roasted caramel, sweetish malt with lots of grain in the aftertaste. The beer is a bit sweetish-sticky, moderate bitter with hints of dry roast. The aftertaste has not too much bitterness with sweetish dark malty aromatics and not too much depth.

600 ml bottle, sampled at Den gamle by in Århus. Clear, dark amber body with a medium sized beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel and slightly spicy. Flavor is sweet, medium roasted dark malt, caramel, some dry fruit and moderate bitterness. Nice body and average aftertaste. Drinkable and a decent bock, but nothing special in any way.

Nice creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet, caramel malts, nuts, hay, dried grain, "knekk", grass. Taste is slightly dry grainy, caramel malts, hay, dried grain, weeds, cereal, burnt caramel, nuts. Medium bitterness, slightly dry mouthfeel. Kind of boring.
