 tarjei (1300), Bryne, Norway
Jun 25, 2008
50 cl bottle, shared with Sølve. Bottle#500. Best before 20/4-08. Brown color, small white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavor is the same, with some bitterness and alcohol, and a strange taste of what must be «brennesle», also hints of liqorize. A strange, but not bad stout.

Dark brown. Off-white head.
Anise in both aroma and flavour.
Very sweet from dark sugar and dried fruits.

Clear dark brown color, tan head. Licorice, violet, sweet scent. Licorice, sweet, smoke taste. Medium mouthfeel, medium high bitterness.

Sep 4, 2008 clear dark brown, light brown head.
rather weak aroma of licorice and a little fruits. flavor is dominated by licorice. beneath that, roasted stuff, and perhaps some fruits. sweet stout alright. nice but different. high marks bc i happen to like licorice.. if it had not "stout" in its name might have gotten higher ratings.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottled:
Pours dark, red-ish brown; almost black with a mid sized head. Lots of aniseed and some liquorice on the nose. Flavour is more aniseed and liquorice. Different but smooth and quaff-able.
Habanero (489), Tranbjerg, Denmark
Aug 12, 2008 Bottled, pours dark brown with red corners and a nice off-white head. Strong nose of anis and liqourice. Rather caramel sweet flavour, again dominated by anis and liqourice, has some malt and notes of coffee. Ends up more dry. Medium bodied. It has little balance. Maybe it would be more acceptable if Skovlyst called it Liqourice Stout instead of Oat Stout(?)
