Todeon (214), Höllviken, Sweden Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Aroma is a bit vinious. Brown color with a mediumsized head. Flavor is really spicey with lots of licorice in it.
WeeHeavySD (1866), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Oct 3, 2008 Winter ale bottle, I believe it was via trade. Pours dark dark pretty much black with a tan head. Nose is roasted and sweet but light on the aroma. Taste is sweet malty and overall quite tasty. robinvboyer (1054), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Oct 3, 2008 Very dark pour, with a thick mocha head. Looks like a porter. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and alcohol, and a tiny bit of hops. Flavour is thick, and loaded with roasted malt, and some caramel, but ends with a big alcohol wallop. A definitive sipper. BeerGestapo (351), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 2, 2008 Brewed in Norway !! This ale pours a dark brown / black color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate. The taste is of dark malts, chocolate, spices, and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is robust and kind of sweet but finishes a bit on the dry side. This was a yummy brew from Nogne...... :) Ifyouinsist (6), , Devon, England does not count Sep 30, 2008 Dark and scary looking. Almost glutinous as it comes out of the bottle. Sticky, sweet, thick, cloying. Pretty unpleasant. Hophead22 (265), Redlands, California, USA Sep 11, 2008 22oz bottle. Very dark pour, tan head. Not much of an aroma really, can’t make much out. Pretty good flavor, dark and fruity, not bad.
