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.

Draught. Pours dark amber with a big off white head. Smells sweet of malt and caramell. The body is a bit to thin.

This copper ale poured with a creamy off-white head and a rich caramel aroma. There is a carbonated caramel malt and bread flavor with smooth hop bitterness at the finish.

330ml bottle, amber copper color, with a frothy beige head, toasted, biscuity malt, cookie dough, fruity nose of ripe apples, with a light toffee, breadiness, with a faint nutty, caramel note, with a hint of brown sugar sweetness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty, caramel, grainy malt character, with a mild multi-grain, bready accent, with some smooth toffee, buttery malt flavors, with a light flowery hop spiciness, leading towards a mild malty, toasty, lingering hop bitterness finish. A nice interpretation of the vienna-marzen style.

Bottle: Poured a medium copper color with average foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramel malt with a dry hoppy finish. Taste is not the most complex but caramel malt are well done and the hops are clearly noticeable in the aftertaste. Full boy for the style with good carbonation. Well done and no distinguishable flaws but maybe lacking some character.

Bottle. Not as unusual as some of their beers by still a bit interesting. Dark orange appearance with a small head.Pleasant but unusually mundane for this brewery.Or perhaps I was in a grumpy mood when I tried it.
