Sample @ Kristiansand ølfestival. Unclear dark orange beer with a firm beige head. Lovely aroma of citric fruit and strong coffee, not particular roasted but lots of coffee. Flavor is sweet malt, hint of caramel, lots of strong coffee, citric fruit, hint of pine and good bitterness. Balanced body and looong coffee aftertaste with some bitterness. The best combination of hops and coffee I have ever tasted, this is normally not a successful combination but this was perfect.

Draught @ Kristiansand Ølfestival 2014
Pours slightly hazy deep golden with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel, citrus and lots of coffee. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter with a long coffee finish. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is soft.

On tap, at Kristiansand Ølfestival. An unclear, dark golden beer with a dense, two-finger beige colored head. Coffee, espresso style, pine cones and a smoke note at first in the aroma. Resins and a touch of pale malts show up. There’s a wonderful bitterness in the flavor, with resins and pine cones, some grapefruit. Some malts in the back, giving some sweetness. A good shot of coffee too. Full body with a soft carbonation. Lasting coffee finish. Too much coffee in this one I think, but it’s sure a fine brew. 140823
