The Christmas brew is aged for a whole year at 0 degrees before being bottled. This is where the different flavor nuances develop, which help give Christmas brew its very own taste with enormous maltiness and rounded hop character.

Copenhagen 5/3 2017. 33 cl bottle from Høkeren. Golden label with a design that reminds me of the 1970ties and a appropriate focus on the healthy ABV of 10,5. Looks like an old school Danish strong beer.

Pours clear golden yellow with small white head. Disappears fairly fast leaving solitary patch of almost transparent foam.

Aroma is of sweet malts, sugar, metallic alcohol and some quite sharp notes of sourness.

Medium carbonation and thick palate.

Flavor is very sweet and you can taste the alcohol quite distinctly. Aftertaste is sugary and boozy.

Quite unpleasant and way too sweet. And it gets even worse as the beer warms up - which is inevitable with this beer. But if you need to drink yourself senseless this might fit the bill - eventually as companion to a schnapps or ten.
