Julen starter tidligt her i Mikkeller I år. Selv om bladene først er ved at løsne sig fra grenene i disse dage, og selv om efterårsferien er det pusterum mange fortravlede stakler går og tørster efter lige nu, så er vi her i bryggeriet så meget på forkant med de skiftende sæsoner, at vi faktisk har solgt det meste af vores juleøl på nuværende tidspunkt. Men det meste er ikke det samme som det alt sammen. Vi har nemlig stadig nogle kasser Santas Little Helper Barrel Aged in Rum Barrels tilbage. Denne juleøl er ikke alene juleøllen med Danmarks måske længste navn, den er meget mere sandsynligt Danmarks mest delikate og komplekse juleøl. Santas Little Helper er i udgangspunktet en belgisk inspireret ale på 10% alkohol, brygget med krydderier og andre julelækkerier. Men efter adskillige måneder i caribiske romfade er graden af kompleksitet forøget. Rom, træ tørret frugt, krydderier som kanel og nelliker giver denne øl bid, mens kakaobønner og romfadenes egetræ giver den stærke ale både dybde og krop.

    Removing the red foil cap from this winter warmer makes me feel like I’m opening a Christmas present. Merry Christmas to me. It pours thick and dark with a few floaties. It has a thick foam head that refuses to go away. It looks and smells like a stout. I smell roasted grains, some fruit and figs. Maybe a little pine. The taste is muddled. Roasted grains and coffee predominate. There is a little fruitcake and a lot of alcohol. The finish is warm and sweet. As I get to the bottom of the bottle, there is some fruit and spice. This beer reminds me of an imperial stout (think Old Rasputin by North Coast). It is good, but I believe that some age would round it out. I’ll cellar a bottle for next year. **************************************************************************************** 2012 update Time has not been nice to Santa's little helper. It has the aroma and apperance of a chewing tobacco spit cup and tastes about the same. It tastes like dirty chocolate and rubbing alcohol. Anyhoo, do yourself a favor and enjoy this beer in the year it was bottled. I won't, however change my ratings based on the aged bottle.
