On tap at brewpub 21 feb 2012. Black colour with a thin light beige head. Milde smoked and roasted nose. usually I do not fancy smoked beer to much, but Amundsen and Haandbryggeriet have changed my mind. First they told me that they where no more Snill IPA left (later I found out that they was wrong), so i ordered this. Nice choice. A fine mild smoked, roasted and some chocolate flavour.

Draught. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and hréavy hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter flavor. Long heavy bitter finish. Creamy palate.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Deep ruby red body with a small off-white head. Mild fruity aroma with some caramel. Flavor is sweet, slightly roasted malt, fruity bitter and hint of chocolate. Medium body, the aftertaste has a moderate but sharp bitterness. Quite OK, but nothing outstanding here.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Dark brown, almost black body with a thin beige head. Nice malty aroma with moderate smoke and some fruity hops. Flavor is sweet malty, light roasted, some smoke, fruity and moderate bitterness. Medium body. Quite nice, good flavor, but a bit sweet and relatively moderate smoke level.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Hazy orange body with a small off-white head. Light fruit aroma with hint of caramel and citric fruit. Light malty flavor with hint of citric fruit and caramel, moderate bitterness. Medium body, a bit short on aftertaste. Decent beer, but not very exiting. Nothing special at all going on here.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Dark reddish amber body with a small tan head and big bubbles. Aroma of wheat, spices, soap and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, fruity, bitter and alcohol. There is definitively a lot of things going on here, not so easy to define. It’s an interesting beer, less fruity and coriander than the previous Nøgne Ø version. That version tasted a lot more balanced after about one year’s storage. We will probably never know what some storage might do to this version.

On tap @ Amundsen 2011.11.14 Dark amber, almost black body with a moderate tan head. Lovely fruity hop aroma with roasted malt. Flavor is fruity, citric, sweet malty, roast, some caramel and quite bitter. A bit on the sweeter side. OK body, decent aftertaste. Quite nice and pleasant to drink, but some adjustment on the sweet/bitterness balance would make this better.
