May 28, 2009 Bottle from Bierkoning. Nice dark brown with thin tan head. Looks really promising. Toast nose. But the flavour is really sour due to the healthy Akevitt residue. I guess I’m too faint-hearted because it doesn’t work for me. Some malts, and ginger too. Well done for a Sour Ale, to be sure. But not my thing. I poured 80% of it down the drain.

Apr 19, 2009 Bottle at De Molen brewery pub. Thanx to Menno. A clear dark brown colored beer with a beige head. The aroma of fruits like cherries with some sourness. Also a little wood. The taste has some fresh sourness with wooden notes. Little chocolate with berries. The aftertaste is most of all sour. It reminds me at a Flemish brown.

Apr 18, 2009 Bottle@DeMolen, thx Menno. Light lactic aroma mixed with chocolate. Opaque colour, light brown head, good lace. Sweet, very lactic (almost vinegar), other porter flavours but overwhelmed by the sourness that becomes harsh in the finish. Like a mix of Porter and Flemish Sour Ale.

Apr 4, 2009 Medium coarse brown head. Nearly opaque black body goes dark brown at edges. Chocolatey alcoholic sugar and wood aroma with vinuous vinegary notes. Acidic chocolatey wooden vinuous taste. Thinnish body. Sharpish mouthfeel. Acidic watery wooden aftertaste. Strange. Very little complexity. Not a very successful experiment, I’m sad to say. No idea why, to be honest. Didn’t finish the bottle. (0.5l bottle at Olympen, Oslo.)

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle at Bar & Cigar, Oslo. It pours a next to black body, with only a gentle reddish tint, and a minimal, tan head. Lovely vinegary start on the aroma, on a solid malty base. Coffee notes, some hints of wood, and alcohol. Quite vinous, some berries also chime in. Balsamic vinegar, roasted malts, some alcohol, a hint of wood and vanilla, and dried fruits in the flavor. Very low on aquavit. Medium to full body, astringently sour, and a lasting finish with the flavors found initially. A wonderful sipper, maybe a bit on the sour side, but lovely. More evident aquavit and porter would be nice I think, but that’s just me. (090313)
