Best before was 15.09.11, so more than 2 years old. The beer is brown in the glass, malty aromatic aroma. It starts mild, very mild, slightly malty and a bit sweet. The mainpart is smooth, a bit bitter, but only slightly. The aftertaste is long, malty-sweet with a medium carbonation. Slightly hints of caramel, brown sugar. --> nice malty beer. Could be a bit deeper in aroma and a bit less sweet. Nice. --> 10/13/9/10
Labelled as a Julebryg Julens ’Sneugle’ (33cl bottle) with a small picture of Santa being snowed on: poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru stemmed tulip @ home on 28 Dec 2012. Clear body of a mahogany colour: on top a thin tan covering of small bubbles. Not a lot of aroma but malty feel to the taste: mildly toffee and caramel flavours come through as the beer warms, both in the smell and taste. Not what I was expecting, but OK I suppose. Not enough depth of flavour or body really, I think my Dad got this from a cheap supermarket while in Copenhagen and it shows.
Bottled (from beerangel.de). Reddish amber colour with mediumsized beige head, nice lace. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel malts, some brown sugar as well as mild nuttyness. Flavour is varamel malts, some mild bitterness and mild raisins. Gets a bit smoky/ashy in the finish. Watery
