Aass Gourmet Stout

Brewed by Aass Bryggeri
Style: Stout
Drammen, Norway

Large head, dissappears fast. Smell of coffee. A lot of taste of coffee. sweet caramel and some hints of licorice far away, slightly hoppy finish. A bit watery and dull taste, not very much to enjoy. A ok beer if you can’t find anything else just before closing time.

33cl bottle from ICA. It poured a dark brown colour with a big beige foamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma smells of burned malts, raisins and liqorice. It has a bitter flavour that tastes of malts, caramel and water. It has a short aftertaste.

Bottle. 24 days past ’best before’. Pours a clear dark brown with a big frothy off-white/light brown head. Sweet malty aroma. Hops appear as it warms. Not very stout-like. Sweetish malty flavour. Finish is where this beer mostly resembles a stout; sweet, a bit roasted and with some alcohol. But feels rather thin. Overall this is more like a dark Czech or German-type beer than a stout. Still okay though, albeit not too interesting. 03-07-08.
