Bottle. Caramel, brown sugar, toffee and dried fruit. Well hidden alcohol. Nice, but not as good as the Julebokk they made for Ringnes a few years ago. 646414

330 ml bottle, 2025, as Arendals Juleøl, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.0%. Clear and beautiful mahogany colour, moderate to small off-white head. Aroma of malts, caramel, roasted nuts and burnt breadcrumbs. The flavour has the same elements, also hints of prunes and other dark dried fruits. Not too sweet, low bitterness.

Can @ Home. Hazy golden body under a frothy white head. Weak in aroma, hint of citric fruits and vanilla. Taste is sweet and dominated by vanilla, some citric fruits and honey in the background, low bitterness. A bit weak body with vanilla aftertaste. Not very interesting.

Bottle from Gulating. Unclear golden body with a medium sized white head. Quite light aroma, but distinct spicy yeast with a herbal touch and hint of pepper. Flavor has a light and soft touch of pale malt, quite sweet, spicy Belgium yeast as very typical for the style, a herbal touch, some kind of light fruit in general and some fruity bitterness. Balanced body and decent aftertaste in the same direction. Nothing complex or outstanding really, but this one really hit the style like almost only Belgium breweries manage to do. This is actually an impressive true to style Belgium Blond, even with lower alcohol. Comparing this with Leffe Blond as one of the best known sample within this style, Munken is lesser sweet and slightly more hopped – both a positive thing by me and still an unmistakable Belgium Blond.

Bottle from Gulating. Black body with a medium sized, fading tan head. Lovely aroma of dark, roasted malt, ark chocolate and some dry fruit. Flavor is rich dark malt, nice roasted, medium sweet, some dry fruit and pleasant bitterness. Did not find much smoked malt here but its anyway a superb tasty and well balanced stout at only 4,7% ABV. Actually not often to find such a such tasty stout with this kind of balance in this alcohol range. Nice.
