A fantastic Christmas beer. Very complex, on the strong side, but not as strong as a lot of the other products on offer, a rich coffee and dark chocolate background, without being overwhelming - slightly sweet, but again not too much. The strength, bitterness, sweetness and smokiness are in perfect balance. Had this one both before and after a Brøckhouse Juleøl 2008, which I like, but is one-dimensional compared with the Nøgne Ø.

Dec 25, 2009 Pours very dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is a bit spicy with roasted malts. Flavor is heavily roasted malts with some spices and some hops in the finish. Exactly what you could expect from a nogne christmas beer. Enjoyable.

Dec 24, 2009 Pours out a deep, opaque, coffee-like sable with a frothy beige head. Aroma is malty with an overtone of molasses and hints of smoke and spice. Rich flavor has tones of molasses, unsweetened chocolate and coffee with just a whisper of sweetness. Texture is thick and heavy, smooth and fizzy, leaving a finish like smoky molasses. Happy Holidays!

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle. 22 oz. Split with Sean on Christmas Eve. Pours dark, opaque brown with a creamy, thin amber head. Aroma of chicory, chocolate, figs, roasted malts, and bread. Medium bodied with a full, smooth mouthfeel and a slightly warming finish. Very good stron ale; very stout-like.

Dec 23, 2009 Tasty and surprisingly drinkable strong ale. Nogne has again made a very very good "american" styled beer. This was enjoyed on tap at the Dirty Truth in Northampton -- quite a treat to have a relatively hard-to-find beer on tap. Taste was especially strong with nice malt/hop balance.

Dec 20, 2009 Colore nero, molto denso e pastoso.Ottimale pienezza e la resistenza. Estremamenta alcolica e profumo floreale con note decise di vino. Denso, armonico, solido e profumato sapore. Note di affumicato legno, vino rosso invecchiato e floreale il finale. Grazie a Simone mio abituale fornitore di birre scandinave.

Dec 20, 2009 It poured a pitch black liquid with a small dirty white foam. Weak smell of chocolate, coffee and something burned. Similar taste but allot stronger. Medium bitterness, medium body. Nice Christmas beer.

Dec 19, 2009 Pours dark brown with a thick tan head. Aroma of chocolate, hops, spices. This is a holiday ale. Thick body with chocolate and caramel dominating. Some spices mix with the overall sweetness. Solid brew.

Dec 17, 2009 Golden orange in color which is decieving because the first flavors I get are chocolate with some roasted notes. This does really redden the cheeks even after a small glass.
