It really is beautiful beer, a bit strong for many who are used to wheat beer of conventional strength, but with beautiful aroma and taste, prefect beer for winter evenings, especially if not chilled too much, even before you taste, I felt on the nose that it is something extraordinary. I wonder how it would taste to typical czech consumer, since, they are mainly used to lager beers, and as have seen in Prague and read on the net, they don't drink too much of strong beers. I do not imply that czech beer is not good, on the contrary, I can't wait to go to Prague again :) I haven’t tried any czech christmas beer, partly because you can’t find them in Croatia, partly because I have been to Prague only once, but thanks to my friends from Germany, I drank Aventinus Weizenbock on more than one occasion.

I just had a Swedish Christmas beer and British bottle is waiting.. If you and your "hardcore" beer friends would like a bottle or two from Nøgne Ø, I think there will be plenty of space in my suitcase when I`m arriving Praha in February. The Dark Horizon Second Edition costs about 650 czk, but I will gladly exchange with beers like Janáček Vánoční speciál, Opat Christmas beer or other rare czech christmas beers. Pivovarsky Klub is an good arena, I have brought beer there before. Czech Christmas beer is new for me, except the all year around Bernard “holiday” beer.
