Austmann Bryggeri - Jinglebeer 2013 Edition

Brewed in 2013, Jingle Beer was Batch #43 and Austmann’s first ever juleøl. After deciding to change the Austmann labels was it shipped to Klostergården Håndverksbryggeri on a windswept island for a distillation project. Aaaaand Vinko forgot about it. After a full five years of ageing in a stone cellar Jørn from Klostergården called and said…“Nå driver jeg å pusser opp folkens.” Vinko remembered. We tried it and were blown away. It’s aged beautifully. It’s a full, malty, Belgian candy-sugar brew with decadent sweet plum and date notes. And boy is it smooth. A keg found its way to BD57 back in 2016 and the last 20 reviews average out at an UnTappd-busting 4.04. The bottles are even better.
