Commercial Description:
Once, every farm in Norway was required by law to brew its own ale. All of that ale had a natural smoky taste because the malt was kilned by fire, and most of it was spiced with juniper berries. Norwegian Wood, a recreation of that traditional style, is made by the "Hand Brewery" - four guys brewing in their spare time, on an absurdly small scale.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of smoke - is that beechwood? but also some notes of caramel and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of smoked malt, caramel, juniper, roasted malt, and some wood, leading to a dry woody and somewhat smokey finish, where the smoke lingers for a long time.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, warm amber golden - no head at all. Lightly smoked nose. Medium body with a fairly high carbonation and notes of burned caramel and smoke. Dry and very hoppy finish - perhaps the juniper also adds to the bitterness. 130507

Bottle at KØ07. Teaish, smoky aroma. Cloudy red/brown colour. OK sourness and a hint of smoke to the flavour. Horseblanket and powerful hop flavour. Good mouthfeel. Nice.
