Bottle. Black colour with a medium beige head. Rich aroma and taste of roasted malts, coffee and caramel. Mildly hopped finish.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of coffee with some dry roasted malt notes. Taste is also dominated by dry coffee notes with some roasted malt. Medium body which is to be expected with some good carbonation. Easily drinkable as per description while still retaining some character.

500 ml bottle. Deep brown color, lacy light brown head. Chocolaty aroma with some wood. Milk chocolate flavor with restrained bitterness, slight sour note. Medium-high carbonation, light, watery body. Fairly weak stout.

Very dark, with a brown head like a mild. No light penetrates. Quite bitter, but reasonably rounded. Definite smokiness. They describe this as ’a gentle beer for those who are scared of dark beers’. It’s actually quite pleasant, full bodied and not too bitter. Worth savouring thoughtfully.

Black, big coarse mocha head. Smoky nose, little wheat and milk chocolate, strong plastic. Flavor is berries, dark chocolate, glue, roasted coffee. Almost medium bodied, quite light mouthfeel. Unclean, uninspired. Worst from Nøgne.
