Rundt år 1000 var det brytning mellom hedensk og kristen tid. Olve vart drepen av Olav sine menn i 1022. Bondehøvdingane i Trøndelag, med Kalv Arneson, gift med Sigrid på Egge, ytte sterk motstand mot kristninga. Bror til Sigrid, Tore Hund, vart hans banemann på Stiklestad i 1030. Olav vart året etter helgen og vart sidan kalla Helgenkongen.
Dette ølet er både brygga og tappa for hand. Det er ikkje filtrert eller pasteurisert, men er eit levande øl som er modna på flaska.
Ølet lagar såleis sitt eige karbondioksyd og utviklar eit stort smakspotensiale og god lagringsevne.
På grunn av denne prosessen vil det vera att litt gjær i kvar flaske. Ved lagring i kjøleskap stoppar modningsprosessen.
Ølet har best smak og aroma ved vanleg kjellartemperatur, ca. 12 - 15 grader Celsius.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff sep-11 (gml. notater): Pent brunt skum. Aroma preges av røstet malt, litt mørk sjokolade og kaffe. Passe tørr munnfølelse, om enn ikke spesielt fyldig. Kanskje litt mer humle ville gjort seg?

Small tan head. Opaque black body. Perfumy roasty dried fruit aroma with chocolatey notes. Dryish roasty earthy cocos taste with chocolate notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish earthy cocos and chocolate aftertaste with biscuity nutty fruity notes. Some licorice and cough drops, too. Nice, drinkable, interesting, complex. (0.5l bottle at Cardinal, Stavanger.)

Bottle, at Nærbø Ølfestival. A very dark brown beer, topped by a small, dark beige head. Roasted, coffeeish nose with licorice. The flavor has a light bitterness to keep the roasted malts and licorice company, leading into a lighlty meaty and bitter end. Full-bodied, smooth and dry on the palate. A nice one, indeed, definitely far from your regular Norwegian Christmas beer. Not sure if it’s even made for Christmas, but that doesn’t matter, it’s well suited for most time of the year. 111022

Sampled at Nærbø Ølfestival. Black body with a really thin tan head. Not to strong, but really nice aroma of dark malt, liquorices, some coffee and hint of smoke. Flavor is sweet and moderate roasted malt, fruity, balanced bitterness and warming alcohol. Rich body. A really nice and balanced porter with a good flavor.

Bottle. Black with a light brown head. Roasted malts and caramel with hints of coffee and dried fruits. Light on hops, but some bitterness. Decent beer, but I felt it was missing something.

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.1%. Black colour, moderate brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, woodwork and dark chocolate. The flavour is medium dry with notes of black malts and coffee, hints of wood. Moderate hops. The mouthfeel is not very rich. I’d like some more sweetness, some fruitiness, and some more hops - but I suppose you can’t have everything. Not a bad beer, though.
