Luke 21 er innholdsrik, nå en 0,5 flaske fra nissen i Hillevåg: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Mørke, litt sure bær, kaffe, bitter sjokolade type 80%, urter og ristet rugbrød. Litt bitrere (og surere, naturligvis) enn jeg vanligvis opplever med bokkøl (en av mine absolutte favorittstiler), men den får allikevel fart på mine indre juleklokker mens vinterstormen raser rundt nova.

Sour? Hmmm I did not find it especially sour Black pour and a small beige head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Fine sweetness this one and a mellow carbonation level Toffee, fruity, roast and some spices in the flavor. [Bottle at Komlefjorden 23]

Bottle 500ml @ home. Pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has notes of hard roasted malt, ash, licorice and something burnt and light smoked. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a slightly dry, harsh burnt malt, burnt caramel and licorice finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. I didn't find the sour part, but that burnt malt and burnt caramel I'm not a huge fan of.

Svart med lyst brunt skum. Lukter kaffe, brent karamell og en anelse røkt. Sjokolade, kaffe og karamell. Fyldig og tørr avslutning.
