(Bottle 33 cl) Brown beer, not much head. Very malty and smoked flavours coming closed to being almost burned. Lots of sweetnes and a rather discreet bitterness. Tasty. Another exceptional Norwegian Bock of high quality. 270804

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden, not much head. The beautiful colour is further emphasized by the typical clear Mack-bottle. Quite malty and soft with a fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Nice if not exactly spectacular. 150301

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful it looks in it’s clear bottle with two cute puffins on the label. Amazingly nice hoppy scent and the hops continue all the way through to the aroma. The bitterness is rather subdued yet present. Soft, slightly watery with a huge head. Unique in it’s freshness. 170201

An orange beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with a dry hoppy end. But the body is a little thin.

A yellow beer with a white disappearing head. The aroma is sweet malty and so is the flavor. A boring beer - nothing wrong though.

Bottled. Pale yellow, no head. Very lightly malty. The far too vague malt flavour is bready, buttery and pleasant (but you realy have to concentrate to even find it...). Low bitterness.

Pale blond color. The aroma features some coffee beans (how is it possible?). Very simple taste, watery, a bit sweet and useless.

Bottled (ABV 4.7%)
Dark amber color with small off-white head. Ashy and slightly malty toffee aroma. Malty, well-balanced vienna with toffee in flavor. Oily, dry, a bit harsh aftertaste. No Christmas found here.
