It’s sorta like smoke (almost ashtrayish) and dirty socks mixed together. However it’s not undrinkable. I even kind of like it, but it’s not my favourite from NO.

| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Dec 9, 2007 Bottled Dark reddish brown. The head sizzles then goes away. Aroma is smoked ham and tar. Flavour is cocoa, sour peat, smoke, ash and dark, very bitter chocolate. Boozy finish. Was it really supposed to taste like this? Or did I get TWO bad bottles?! gnoff (3573), Göteborg, Sweden
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 8, 2007 (50 cl bottle, from Systembolaget. Thanks for sharing ekstedt!) Clear dark red color, brown small head. Burnt scent, smoke, soot, burnt pop-corn, ashes, rain in a camp fire. Did they malt their own but chared it by misstake and thought they’d still use it to save money? Big misstake if that was the case! Burnt wood, coffee and solvents alcohol taste, smooth mouthfeel. Medium bitterenss. I am usually not dissapointed in beers from Nils Oscar, but this one and the Trippel are just terrible, what has happened?? ekstedt (2444), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Bottle (50 cl) from Systembolaget. Dark murky brown with a small beige head. Roasted aroma dominated by notes of burnt popcorn. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Good balance with a light sweetness and a dry finish. Could have been really good without that strange popcorn aroma. fonefan (11818), VestJylland, Denmark
