May 29, 2009 Extremely dark brown pour with modest beige head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, citrus, and cream. Dark fruit slips in there with subtlety. Flavor is roasty and sweet. Coffee, chocolate, raisin, a slight alcohol presence, and a bit of roast. Palate is silk and velvet. Very roasty and dry finish. Very nice.

Jul 15, 2008 Updated: Dec 15, 2008This guy is a keeper, and a horrible monster who would darken my Christmas if I ever drank it during that holiday. Thick like cough syrup, and dark enough that people with coughs would begin leaping out of windows if this was the only remedy. Would be a porter if it wasn’t so impossibly sweet - thick with date syrup and brown sugar. Heavy on charcoal and dark nutmeg.

Oct 2, 2008 Brewed in Norway !! This ale pours a dark brown / black color with a dissipating tan head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, and chocolate. The taste is of dark malts, chocolate, spices, and a hint of coffee. The mouthfeel is robust and kind of sweet but finishes a bit on the dry side. This was a yummy brew from Nogne...... :)

Mar 2, 2008 burnt aroma without all the spice that one generally associates with winter ales. slight nose and flavor of the booz content. very enjoyable and different yet still suitable for a winter ale. i feel as though tis is a great way for me to end the season on winter ales, although i am not sure it will be the last for the year it well surly be one of the best.
