På kran i bryggeriet 17 Okt 09. Veldig mørk på farge med litt rødskjær. Svakt brunfarget skum. Aromaen er søtlig med litt kaffe og sjokolade - men også litt fruktig. Smaken blir i samme gate og den glir over i en svakt bitter ettersmak. Kanskje litt uvariert men det er en bra stout - spesielt vurdert ut fra alkoholstyrken.

400ml on draught served lightly chilled at Lillehammer Bryggeri. Decent off-white head resting on top of a dark-brown body. Rather rich aroma of roasted, sweet dark malts. The taste follows suit with dark chocolate, roasted coffee and a touch of vanilla. Hints of bitterness kicks in to the end. A nice Norwegian stout to be bottled during 09 (Enjoyed at the brewpub on a Friday eve, 06.02.2009).

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a beautiful dark, reddish brown body with a lovely big beige head. A little bit darker, and it would have been a 5 on appearance. There’s lots of fruityness and mocha, chocolate and coffee in both aroma and flavor, really well packed, especially considering it’s 4.6% ABV. The beer finished fruity and roasted, with the chocolate missing. Full body. A truly lovely beer, and the end of a short first (but not last) visit to Lillehammer Bryggeri. A very warming welcome by the staff, and a really friendly attitude during the stay also added joy to the experience, but of course, that’s a place rating issue, and not being considered when rating their beers. I also hope they are able to speed up the plans for bottling their beers, as this was just delicious. (080216)

Biggish shiny beige lasting head. Deep amber/ruby body. Dry smoky cocoa and roasty malt aroma. Dry milky burnt grainy caramel taste with some residual sweetness and pine needle hops. Clean, fresh mouthfeel. A bit tangy. Dryish burnt grainy aftertaste. Very delicate and harmonic. (0.33l draft at the brewpub.)
