0.33 L gift can from daughter in Norway. Probably should not be styled as a plain belgian dark, this is a flavored spiced beer. Pour is not completely black but almost. It looks like root beer. Quite nice mello dark beer nose, roasted malts with a little bit of slices on the olfactory. Stronger dark beer impact on tongue then the holiday spices start to stick their head up. I know this is a Christmas spiced beer but its my opinion, it would be better without those spices. The spice even makes it get near cloying in the middle. Not as heavily spiced as the domestic spiced bombs of holiday yore, but its still very prominent. Good thing there is some co2 in there to keep my brain off the spice impact. A little difficult near the end.

Keg at Hotel Røros, Røros. A gentle kind of IPA that didn't really go anywhere but remained easy and pleasant enough.

330ml can [courtesy of Claudius - thank you very much!]. Opalescent, amber colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Resinous, piney and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, notes of grapefruit, pineapple, orange, minimal jelly bear character. Taste is moderately bitter, citrusy fruity, slightly piney and resinous hoppy, pale and caramel malty basis with some residual sweetness, minimally diluted notes of lemon, pineapple, some grapefruit; bitter hoppy, slightly mineral finish.
Oily texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously dry palate, medium, dense, prickly carbonation.
Well crafted, relatively meaty, paradigmatically West Coast style - very nice.

330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet; Nettbutikken. ABV is 7.2%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate beige head. Aroma of dark malts, cocoa / chocolate and mild coffee, hints of Christmas spices. Tolerable flavour, a bit too sweet, with the same elements as the aroma. Hints of prunes and other dark fruits. Some bittering hops in the finish. Okay.
