Pours a dark, dark brown with a fizzy light brown head that fades to a ring pretty fast. Aroma is fairly subdued, roasted malts, citric and earthy hops, vague chocolate, smoke and coffee, some minerals. Flavour is much the same really. Body is light, carbonation fizzy, which makes it seem very thin and basically ruins it. Def not up to usual NØ standards, and as they say on the bottle, a compromise.

Nov 17, 2009 50cl Bottle from De Molen. Black colour, lasting creamy beige head. Aroma of hard roasted malts, almost tar-like, milk chocolate, wheat(?). Flavour is light sweet, milk chocolate, hard roasted malts, coffee, bitter finish. The beer starts rather full on flavour but gets a thinner mouthfeel towards the end, ending in a bit watery finish. Still a very nice and smooth stout, with a good roasted character.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottle in Bergen.
Black color with a brown foam which remained for a while. Smelled a little fruit, but mainly burnt malt and smoke. The taste was not too impressive for being a Nøgne Ø. Some malt, chocolate and coffee. A little thin.

Oct 15, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle from la Cervateca, Barcelona.
This is typical Nøgne Ø stouty stuff, just a bit lighter. Superb jet
black body with a thin but lasting beige head. Black and roasty all
round with a ton of chocolate malt and some faint milky notes.
Excellent coffee finish with a good drying feel. The low abv makes it
drink very much like an English beer which as an English fella myself,
I find very pleasing. Thoughout all this however there is something
holding it back. The chocolate notes remind me of that cheap advent
calender stuff you get and it really holds it back. Either way it’s a
very good beer, just a little off excellent.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a creamy light brown head. Pleasant aroma and flavour of lightly toasted bread, dark chocolate, and licorice. Heaps of flavour and quite the hearty stout. Chocolate malty finish. Nice one.
