Med en liten vinterstorm rundt oss skulle det passe fint med en liten vintervarmer fra En Liten Øl, luke 6 i min hemmelige julekalender: kastanjebrun med fint skum som varer. Beskjeden aroma med god, halvtørr bokkøl-smak med havrekjeks, kakao, ristede hasselnøtter og mørke 70%-sjokolader. Slank kropp og fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

Bottle, at Ølfestivalen, Nærbø. An unclear amber colored beer with a dense light beige head. Some lacing. It’s lightly vegetal on the nose, with caramel and some bread. A bit one dimensional. It has a decent bitterness, with some vegetal hints, less than in the aroma though. Luckily. Caramel and some bread. It’s smooth on the palate, soft and full-bodied, with a nice carbonation. A bit sweet though. Medium length finish. Not my cup of tea. 171021
