Commercial Description:
This beer is our premium X-Mas beer. This beer is full of all the dark malts that we have at hand and display a full and complex malt taste, almost reaching in to the porter style. It has a balanced fruitiness from hops with a good mouth feel and smoothness, and a lingering aftertaste of roasted malts.

50 cl bottle, brewed 9/06. Dark brown with a thick tan head. Musty brown sugar, grapes and molasses. Buzzy carb, medium light. Coffee and chocolate with prune sweetness. Grapefruit peel adds some sharpness. Lingering dark roast and licorice.

Bottled (brewed 03/2007, batch #35)
Dark nut brown color, almost opaque color, small brown head. Dark chocolate, burned dark malts and raisins in the nose. Chocolaty, yeasty, some spices (clove?), a bit alcoholic. Similarities to Nøgne Ø Porter, slightly thinner, not so coffeish and more spicey. When this beer warms up, it gets some Old Ale -stylish toffeish notes.

(Bottle) Pours dark to black with a big head. Roasted malt and light spicy aroma with notes of caramel, chocolate, liquorice, salt and mint. Maybe a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Roasted malt flavour with a light sour sting. Rather spicy with notes of pepper, salt and some anise. Some liquorice and a light touch of coffee are also present. A bit bitter. Lingering aftertaste of dark malt and some subtle fruits. Medium body. Go Norway.

Bottle, thanks Furseth. Dark opaque brown, large fluffy beige head. Roasted malt aroma, dusty, nutty, with some spicy hops. Medium bodied with a sparkling mouthfeel. Good balance, bitter finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours an almost opaque, black with an orange hue and a creamy, light brown head. Roasted, lightly vinous aroma with notes of dried fruit. Full body with sweetish, roasted malt, dried fruit and a lightly burned edge. Some vanilla in there too. Quite lovely. 240507

Bottle 500 ml - batch # 13 (bb aug 07). Dark brown. Vanishing brown head. Aroma of rasins, roasted malt, chocolate, coffe. Flavor is very roasted/burnt, coffee, liquorice, bitter aftertaste. Not as balanced as expected. I hope it is not the age. 090507
