Sample @ Nøgne Ø tasting, Kick. Totally black, oily body with just a thin, brown film on top. Strong aroma of dark malt, liquorice, coffee, dry fruit, spices, wood and vinous. Flavor is heavy dark malt, coffee, chocolate, lots of dry fruit, liquorice, oak, vanilla, cognac, port wine, spices and good bitterness. Full bodied and really long lasting aftertaste with a warming, alcoholic finish. It’s really heavy and I don’t feel to drink very much of this, but really want to swirl it for a while in a cognac glass and meditate for a while as a drink it sip by sip. Definitively complex with aging potential.

Duft av sjokolade, Vanile og en preget cogniac duft. Dyp sort farge. Ingen skum. Nydelig smak av lakris, kaffe, sjokolade, vanilje og cogniac som sitter.

No head, just some bubbles. Aroma is slightly sweet, cough syrup, sweet licorice, dark sugar, alcohol, oak, anise, grass, cocoa. Taste is dry boozy, whisky, minerals, oak, cough syrup, grass, weeds, cocoa, sour coffee, licorice. Longlasting bitterness, dry boozy mouthfeel. Nice enough for now, too boozy and unbalanced. Need aging...
