On tap at Nøgne Ø, Zwanze Day. It pours a red, lightly unclear, to brown body with no head. Cherries, almond and some diacetyl-ish notes in the aroma. Rather funky on the palate, full to medium bodied, with a low carbonation level. Semi-dry, with flavors of cherry, some almond and a light diacetyl touch I suspect is related to the cherries more than to the brewing process. Cherry dominated finish. Quite decent this one, might of course be that I’m strict on the score after a bunch of Cantillon beers, but I think it’s more or less just a decent beer that neither impresses nor disappoints. 161001

Sampled at Nøgne Ø/Zwanze 2016. Almost clear, deep red body with a very small white head. Really strong cherry aroma with hint of wood and acidity. Flavor is the opposite of the aroma, the cherry is more in the background with wood and aquavit dominating, still acidic. Something feels almost sweet here, but not really sweet either, could be the residual of the aquavit? Medium body and sour aftertaste with a bit of harsh dry wood. Kind of interesting but a bit messy.
