44cl can (many thanks to Finn&Rune for bringing this to Estonia!) Pours clear, dark amber with an off-white head. Caramelly and malty with mild bready notes, hint of hops, dried fruits and toasted malt. Medium sweet with fairly low flavour intensity and ditto bitterness. Rather standard Norwegian shop strength Christmas beer. Fairly drinkable, but on the boring side.

330 ml bottle, as Mack Juleøl God Jul 2025, from Vinmonopolet Stavanger Tasta. ABV is 6.5%. Clear chestnut colour, large beige head. Aroma of malts, brown bread and caramel, a faint hint of Christmas spices. Well rounded flavour with the same elements, hints of prunes, moderate herbal hops in the finish. An unassuming traditional Norwegian lager juleøl, designed to go well with our fairly robust Christmas / Yule fare.
