18/666)  Underlig Jul by Nøgne Ø of Norway:  **1/2;  a 6.5% spiced strong beer;  brewed with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, coriander, cardamom;  very spicy nose, ginger is particularly prominent;  it's a very Christmassy, wintery brew;  all of the spices come into play and it just makes you feel warm all over;  perfect on a cold night, after skating;
