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.

11.2 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a dense one finger off-white head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is bready and citrus hops with some malt. The taste is malt, floral hops and some earthiness/grainy bread with a bitter grapefruit finish. Medium mouthfeel. Good stuff, not $6 a bottle good, but good nonetheless.

Poured an amber color with a thin white head. Aroma was dark bread, heavy malt, really bready, lots of yeast. Flavor was more of the same with a big full mouthfeel. For all of that though, it was a little one dimensional. Really kind of a non-sweet malt bomb.

33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. FE09/09.

App.: Clear deep amber with a fair off-white froth. Aroma: Lots of sticky males, some fruitiness, brown sugar, dark dried fruits; a touch of pine/grapefruit hops. Palate: Medium body and effervescence. Flav.: Still lots of sticky malts, some fruitiness, a touch woody; off-dry with some bitterness.

Kalas-OK.

Yeah, definately wasn’t worth the $5 with the $2 off because it’s Tuesday at the Brasserie. A marzen i can identify with, but just sub par overall in all areas. Poured a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma is noticeably malty, with biscuit and and hop on the nose as well. Taset is sort of tart midpalate. Grassy, slightly dry with hops firm hops in the finish.

In short: A caramelized beer with resinous hops with annoying meaty notes.
How: Bottle 330ml. Consumed a few days after receiving it through private importation but it was already close to expiration date
The look: Clear redish-copper body topped by a very small off-white head
In long: Wet bread with old fruits (citrus mainly) and resinous hops. Annoying red-meat sensation. Strangely similar to their Nils Oscar Farm Ale that I had minutes before this one. Like the Farm Ale but less dirty and with a boosted carbonation. Certainly not what I’m used to from a Vienna. The beer has some qualities but the meaty character prevents it from being enjoyable. Drinking it I was thinking to myself “Wow, I’m drinking a rare beer!” and I wasn’t thinking about the availability.
