Mørkved

Draught @ Bergen Ølfestival 2015 - Friday, Bergen
Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, milk chocolate, caramel and hint of coffee. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long chocolate, caramel and coffee finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

330ml bottle, lot #040, at Kaptein Larsen in Bodø. Slowly fading tan-coloured head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Jet black body. Black malts on the nose, slightly smoked, and added by earth and leaves. Creamy brown and black malty flavours joined by raisin, dough, ash, and pine leading to a dark bitter ending, nicely roasted. Rounded mouth feel. Fine drinkability. A comprehensive, well-made stout (10.06.2015).

Bottle at home. Is black as night with a great, creamy, light beige foam. Aroma with roasted tones with hints of coffee, ash and dark chocolate. In the aroma I also get pine needles in the background. The taste is even more roasted with more ash and coffee beans. In addition there is a distinct touch of chocolate truffles that gives a nice and sweet touch. Mouth feel is silky, and the bitterness is light. This is a real solid stout with good, roasted tones. The beer shows balance all the way, and is also surprisingly easy to drink.

Nice light brown slightly fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is mild roasted, dark malts, hay, toast, chocolate, caramel, grass, dark sugar, roasted grain. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish roasted, dark malts, toast, chocolate, caramel, roasted grain, grass, hints of coffee and lactose. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and watery mouthfeel. Fair enough.

33cl bottle at Kulturhuset i Oslo. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, hints of licorice, dark fruits, dark chocolate and hints of herbs. Medium sweet with nice roasty flavours and slightly dry and somewhat bitter finish. Pleasant stout!
