Sweet and smooth porter from Lyon. Ninkasi Noire is a sweet , smooth beer, with aromas of caramel and chocolate. This beer is inspired by an old brown beer, brewed in the 19th century Lyon and known throughout France. At the time, the town had numerous breweries, but they gradually disappeared with the arrival of the industrial era. The use of coffee and caramel malts give it its unique aroma. Assuredly a typical Lyonnais beer.

Bottle, 6.6%. Sweet aroma, slightly funky, a bit of old bread. Hazy dark brown colour. Small stable light brown head. The flavour has a little cardboardy note, bit of roasted flavour as well. Slightly sweet, low bitterness.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a clear reddish brown with an off-white head. Dried fruit in the nose. Medium body, fruity, then comes licorice, and burned malts and ashes - quite a unique progression. Not really bitter in the finish. Very interesting. 190210

From tap at brewpub, 12 year anniversary night. Pours dark brown to black with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and light liqourice. Distinct liqourice hoppy flavoured with a smooth roasted and chocolate malt base flavour. Vague acidic note into a lingering smooth malty finish.

Draft at the brewpub. A deep red beer with a thin lazing beige head. THe aroma has strong notes of caramel, medium notes of malt, and light notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and yeast, as well as light notes of alcohol, leading to a dry finish where light notes of chocolate mixes in with the caramel. The alcohol tickles the palate. Very easily drinkable.
