Vår julöl har blivit tradition på mångas julbord, och vad passar väl bättre till vårt svenska julbord än en mörk karaktärsfull ale?

The aroma is sweet, nutty, and yeasty with notes of chocolate. The color is nut brown and it has a beutiful light brown head. The flavor is fantastic: it is sweet and nutty with notes of bitter chocolate and roasted malt. It finishes on a nice mixed sweet and bitter note with the bitterness lingering for a long time and turning woody dry at last. The bitterness comes more the malt than the hops. The body is a little weak for a beer of 6.5% ABV, but is OK. A great beer - thanks Per.

Ruby-dark amber color; generous head. Strange aroma, with some malt, hop, caramel, phenol, fudge. Not very strong body, but enough pleasant, with an extra light note of roasted barley. Dry ordinary palate, quite strong but not enough aromatic, with a touch of sourness. Not bad, but diminished by something chemical.

Dark nut brown with rich head. Flowery and chocolatey aroma. Fruity and full bodied with nice malt profile. Surprisingly dry. Finishes like dark bitter chocolate. More on the malty side and less hoppy than the average ale from Jämtlands Bryggeri, and one of my very favourite Swedish brews.

Dark mahogany hued ale, subtley spiced with what tastes like cinnamon and orange zest, but also with good dark malt character and the trademark earthy hoppiness and notes of cocoa. A little sweeter than your average Jamtlands.
