750ml bottle topped by a cork and a wire cradle shared at a New Years party in Tromsø. Big shot and smoke when opened. Deep dark brown body under a light brownish head. Sweet aroma of fruits and malt. The flavour is filled with xmas spices and candy sweetness added by yeasty notes. Powerful, but rounded palate (thanks to Esben for providing the bottle) (12.01.2008).

(25cl bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a big and lacey off-white foamy head. Sweet, slightly dusty and roasted malty aroma, bready with spicy notes of anise, cinnamon & thyme. Bitter-sweet flavour, quite light bodied according its abv; moderate, slightly fizzy carbonation. Moderately roasted malty body with strong spicy notes from the beginning, that leave not much room for other flavours; slightly bitter and spicy finish with a fairly good alcohol management. Way too spicy and unbalanced, thus very overrated stuff.

Dark, plummy colour. Rich aroma of dark fruits comes through. This is quite fizzy on the tongue and relatively thin in texture. Flavour is heavy on malts and dark, dried fruits and it has a pleasant and not overpowering sweetness.

And here I come to the rating number 200! In front of me I have Christmas Ale from the brewery that surprised me very pleasantly with their dubbel and tripel. BB date Sep 14, 2007, so it’s also kind of aged :)
So, it was a 0.25 bottle which poured dark, almost black body with medium creamy brown head. Sweet dark fruits from malts in aroma, specially raspberries and cranberries. Flavor is quite nice fruity, but quite light bodied, although creamy on palate. Nice finish though, sweetish with berry fruits. Alcohol is not felt at all here and carbonation is, contrary to the other beers from this brewery I’ve tried, very low. Surely a good beer, although I’ve expected more, which it would probably be with some more body.

0.33 l bottle which poured dark brown-reddish body with big brown head. Aroma of some slightly sourish fruits, but of course also malty, mostly in the sense of caramel. Flavor is even better, bit sweet with caramel and chocolate enriched fruitiness. Finish is quite short, but as nice as the whole beer, more or less reflecting the flavor. Great beer indeed.

0.33 l bottle. Poured thick white long living creamy head over murky yellow body. Very nice fruity aroma dominated by banana and cloves, with some citrus notes. Flavor typical tripel bittersweet, inclining to sweet. Quite fruity and spicy, pretty much following the aroma. Light bodied for the style though... Quite carbonated, with nice, long finish, which is pleasantly fruity sweetish. Quite good tripel and very good beer.
