Piggy Brewing Co. Christmas Break Imperial Brown Ale 11% Deep brown verging on black with virtually no foam. Figs and dark chocolate with cacao and toffee notes. Full velvety body with surprising light Smokey toffee flavor then dark chocolate and caramelized fruitcake. Nice warmth radiates from my belly from the ABV but in the mouth it’s silky smooth. Really nice and a total surprise as I know nothing about this French Brewery brought over by Dig the Line.

It’s good. Imperial brown because why not? No, that’s not Hitler on the glass.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet Verksgt., Stavanger. ABV is 11%. Dark brown colour, moderate to small beige head. Malty but very unfresh aroma, notes of vomit and poo. The flavour is better, but still somewhat unfresh. Malty and sweet with caramel, hints of Christmas spices. Warming mouthfeel. A pity with the aroma.

Tap @ Bøker og Børst. Rather clear, deep brown body with a nice, dense, tan head. Surprisingly light in aroma considering the strength, kind of nutty with brown sugar with almost no sign of alcohol. Taste is sweet brown malt, brown sugar, toast, boozy alcohol and harsh bitterness. Full bodied with lots of aftertaste similar to the rest of the taste. Just too sweet and boozy for me.

Juleverksted på Fridtjofen des-19: en 0,33 flaske fra polet i Verksgata, delt med skibsrederen. Dyp rødbrun med kort skum. Julekos i rikelig monn både for snyteskaft og gane - engelsk julekake med store mengder tørkede frukter, havrekjeks med sjokolade, kakao og vellagret sherry. Halvsøt avslutning. Muligens kan en flaske på egen hånd bringe deg i evangeliseringsmodus.
