There is a long story to this malty ale. It was first brewed in the spring 2006 in Nørrebro Bryghus in Copenhagen, Denmark, as a joint brew between Nøgne Ø and Nørrebro. Nørrebro calls their version “Double Knot Brown”.

Dark brown colored, ruby hue, moderate beige creamy lasting head. Aroma is of caramel, bit toffee, nutty, toast, fruits. Taste is moderate+ sweet caramel, brown sugar and toffee, good on the nuts, some dried fruits - licorice, some chocolate notes and toasted bread finish. Low+ bitterness, sweet but still dryish finish with some roasted notes. Medium+ bodied and moderate carbonation, slightly sticky. Sweet but not too strong, very enjoyable. (bottle at Bottle Park, Bratislava, Slovakia)

(500ml bottle @ VilleValla Pub, Linköping, April 9 2015) Pours deep brown with a dense, moderately sized tan head and lace. Aroma of nutty dark malts with a little toffee and dark bread, softly roasted, spices, herbal hop notes. Flavour is toffee/caramel malts with lightish roast lending a bit of coffee/chocolate character, also some nuttiness. A bit of dark fruit, soft spices and herbal hops, a bit earthy. Lightly bitter finish from hops and roast. Pretty average mouthfeel and carb. Brown ales are not my favourite style but this was a really nice one, round flavours and a bit of interest.

Tap at Roundhouse. Translucent, nearly opaque, cola brown pour. Some fizzy bubbly head. Aroma is spicy, earthy, very malty, and a bit metallic. Taste is very earthy with some cloves and cinnamon but a good amount of earthy hop bitterness.
