Braggot is a hybrid style of beer and mead. Nöösker knows how to make a perfect mead, we can make a beer quite well (we think atleast). We put our heads together and Ööloom (Nocturnal Animal) was born.
The color of the drink is midnight black, the little beige head doesn’t last very long.
Already from the aroma, you can sense that this is not something usual. The aroma is sour coffee, blackcurrant jam, mixed with dark toffee.
The taste is very multi-layered. At first glance, you can feel rather fruity and sour berry flavors. The more you sip, the more toffee, dark chocolate, darker sweet berries are added. In aftertaste, very honeyed notes come to the fore, remaining for a long time as a warming sweet taste.
The Ööloom is one dangerously good creature that we recommend trying with a slow-cooked honey-marinade meat dishes. But it is definitely worth trying with honey cake and roasted nuts with honey aswell.

Bottle (from Lehe webshop). Black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is toasted, some mild alcohol with a bit vegetably and burnt sugary tones. Flavour is roasted tones with some vegetables and mild earthy and honey tones too. Not at all Braggoty compared to Põhjala A Ton of Honey.... Lots of dry wooden tones in the finish.

Tastes like a roasty coffee stout, don't really find the braggot here. Ok.

A small taste on tap @ TCBW 2023. Pours very dark brown with a low head. Aroma is roasted malts with sewer. Flavor is roasted malts, honey, a bit less sewer but still quite unpleasant.
