Nøgne Ø Julesnadder, being the crafty craft brewers they are decided to purposefully create this beer at 4.5% so that it could be sold outside of the Vinmonopolet so that it could be enjoyed by the masses. My second porter from Nøgne Ø with the previous one coming it at 7% and this one being more spiced up as a Christmas beer. Am usually sceptical to craft beers with such low levels of alcohol.
Tasted 2011 vintage at the brewery which was brewed less than 1 month ago. Drinking a "fresh" bottle of Julesnadder is a completely different ball game. Coffee, caramel and figs in the aroma with some Christmas spices. The body was a touch on the thin side with a nutty flavour and had a high carbonation. Easy drinker this one that I can see how it goes well at the Christmas table with some fatty foods.
