Commercial Description:
This beer has its orgin in the Bavarian beer type ’festbier’ or ’oktoberfestbier’. Like ’festbier’ and ’vienna style beer’, Nils Oscar Kalasöl is of a somewhat darker type. The Nils Oscar Kalasöl is produced with both münchenermalt, dark caramelmalt, chocolatmalt and some roasted barley. The choice of hops is a mix of four kinds where the most characteristic are brittish fuggles, american cascade and czech saaz.
Kalasöl is a rounded beer with a mildly roasted breadish character. It can be recommended together with heavy foods, like joints of roast meat, spicy stews, broiled meat and fowl.

Good looking pour, having a clear body the color of a new penny and a tall off-white head that laces heavily. The aroma has some sweet floral hops and a splash of caramel. The flavor has an even balance between fresh white bread & caramel and moderately bitter floral hops. Quite quaffable.

Pours bright amber into a Lager glass. Off-white head recedes rapidly to skim surface. Malty aromas. Crisp and dry with upfront caramel and an abrupt finish. Refreshing.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark amber body with a foamy, bubbly white head. Smell: Aromatic toasted grain nose with notes of caramelized sugar, flowers, and citrus. Taste: Sweet, sugar-encrusted grain flavor with a bit of toasted nuts. Hint of flowers. Candied citrus rind with a gentle bitterness. Dry finish with a mild, lingering bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: A fine beer that’s very drinkable, though, sadly, at $5.10 for a single 11.2oz bottle, it’s a beer experience I don’t see myself often repeating.

Bottle from Capone’s. Medium copper pour with aroma of caramel malt, honey, apricot, slight nuts. Tastes caramel malty, with mild hops, brown sugar, and nuts. Pretty rich palate with decent complexity.
