Albani julebryg was one of the country's very first Christmas brews. These early Christmas beers are inspired by the old Christmas tradition of good strong beer. In earlier times, this kind of spoiled beer was called 'good, good' beer. The double 'good' came from doubling the good malts and brewing it with a little more care. A pampering that gave it more power and flavor.
We brew the Christmas brew in the same place as back then, in Brygger Schiøtz's beautiful old church-like brewery in the middle of Odense. That's why we also have the building on the label, as always.
Look forward to tasting this dark Christmas bock, which with its strong malt body and warmth cleanses the palate well after any Christmas meal. Its dark and strong body will lift your Christmas food to new heights.

Copenhagen 22/11 2021. 50 cl bottle from Rema 1000, Frederiksborgvej, Kbh. NV. Red label with some kind of fortress-like building and Albani's logo. Not much Christmas paraphernalia.
Pours clear golden yellow with a big white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with a grainy sour scent. Pale sweet malts and caramel. Sour grains and metallic alcohol.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a slightly more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish. Lingers for a bit. Finish is sweet and metallic.
Middle of the road, malty and slightly too sweet Christmas beer.
