Nøgne Ø Christmas Ale Norwegian Specialty Beer Bottle Ale Christmas Brew 33 cl 8.5%

Nøgne Ø Christmas Ale is a powerful Norwegian Christmas beer, brewed to warm the soul in the darkness of winter. With an alcohol content of 8.5% and a deep, dark malt profile, it is a beer that balances sweetness, complexity, and spicy elegance. It is brewed in Grimstad by Nøgne Ø – a brewery known for its uncompromising approach to craft beer.

The taste is rich and full-bodied with notes of caramel, coffee, dark chocolate, and dried fruits such as raisins and prunes. The hops – Chinook, Columbus, and Centennial – add a subtle bitterness and spicy edge that supports the sweet, malt-driven body. The beer is fermented with English ale yeast and brewed with local water, giving it an authentic and terroir-driven character.

The color is deep brown with ruby highlights, and the foam is dense and creamy. The aroma opens with roasted malt, dark syrup, and a hint of whisky, giving it an almost vinous impression. Christmas Ale is unfiltered and bottle-conditioned, providing natural carbonation and a lively expression in the glass.

This Christmas brew pairs perfectly with hearty winter dishes such as duck, game, and aged cheeses, but it also works beautifully as a digestif after dinner – alone or in good company. It is a beer that invites slow enjoyment and reflection.
