7% abv. Malted barley. A cousin to our India Double Porter, but fermented with lager yeast at low temperatures to smooth some of the rough edges. Another lager beer born out of the Coronavirus lockdown of 2020.

Anført av en velopplagt seremonimester ble Mi2 4.april -22 en solid kveld med hele 14 fatøl (pluss et fra boks og et fra flaske), og hadde det ikke vært for mine analoge notater hadde jeg fort kommet ut av tellingen. Dette er kveldens enste flaskeøl, og jeg er fornøyd med at håndskriften fra i går kveld faktisk er helt forståelig: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Lys kaffe, mørkbrent malt (naturligvis...), dessertchokolader og hint av våt barskog. Halvtørr og farlig lettdrikkelig - en pint av denne på en Londonpub hadde ikke vært ueffent.

330 ml bottle. ABV is 7.1%. Black colour, moderate tan head. Pleasant aroma of dark malts, mild coffee, chocolate and prunes, a hint of liquorice. Fairly smooth mouthfeel, relatively light bodied for its strength. Flavour of roast malts and strong coffee, hints of dark bitter chocolate, liquorice and prunes, distinct bittering hops in the finish.

330ml bottle, 7.1 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge. Pours a fawn-coloured head over a coal black body, spotty lacing. Inviting smell of earthy, dry malts lightly roasted. Well blended taste profile of liquorice, dark bread, and chocolate, a bit ashy. Rounded dark chocolate malts to the finish. Fine depth. Pleasant version of the style, not too sweet. (Hotel room, Oslo 19.01.2022).

Bottled 22.01.21. Brownish black, some light brown head. Smell is very roasty, hint of ash. Pretty light body, tad watery for the abv, but soft. Taste is roasty, bitter, and a bit burnt. Slightest hints of licorice, would have liked more. Not bad.
