Nov 13, 2004 (on bottle 2004 edit. thx Sigmund thx alot) My favorite among the Nøgne Ø so far, still has about 6 or 8 bottles from Sigmund. Grand X-mas brew here. I could go on in praising it, but I´ll just say: this is a perfect balanced ale, in all aspects; brewing in the making.

May 9, 2008 Dark brown with frothy tan head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, toasted malts, spice and smoke. Taste of smoked malts, chocolate and caramel. Rich taste with the alcohol slightly noticeable. Pretty solid brew.

Dec 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a thick light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, slight roasted malt, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malts, some vegetal notes. Kinda bland actually. Just not a very enjoyable beer. These winter ales just do not seem to be put together very well.

Nov 30, 2005 Updated: Feb 16, 2009Batch 96 - 2004. Deep brown/red - almost black. Brownish head that soon disppears. Lot of taste: Fruity, a bit spicy leaving a good, roasted malty aftertaste - that lasts. And the sedimentation: It’s mud - nicly clinging to the bottom. KI=6

Apr 26, 2008 (Bottle on 2008-02-03) Very dark. Roasted malts and spices in nose. Spices in taste along with roasted malts. Pleasant but perhaps a bit too spicy.

Oct 30, 2008 [07 Bottle I assume, as its been sitting on the shelf at Sam’s this entire year] Pours a thicker dark deep brown with a small tan froth. Aroma is lightly tart, green apple, juicy, some roasted coffee and a touch of oats. First taste is dry, tasty dark chocolate, black malt adds that ’oat’ like creaminess I could smell, very light hint of caramel malt, the hops are pretty faded but add just a smidgen of spice. Ingredients blend flawlessly to create a unique flavor. Not nearly as plasticy as some of their other ’malt concoctions.’ This is a great PORTER.... lovely roast and chocolate. Very clean roast finish. Medium/full body with medium sized softer carbonation, balanced mouthful. I’m glad after staring at this on the shelf for almost a year I decided to pick it up.
