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.

250ml, tap at Amundsen Bryggeri & Spiseri. Red-brown body, small beige head. Malts to the nose with notes of ginger. Spiced malty taste, lightly roasted and with notes of star anise and lozenge. On the sweet side of bittersweet to the finish. A bit thin on the swallow. Average level of Yuletide in this one (Oslo, 12.12.2011).

Fra kran på bryggeripuben 31 Okt 11. Dyp brun. Pent kremaktig skum med litt farge. God, men litt svak krydderaroma. Ingefær. Smaken er kun krydder. Kjedelig.

Fra kran på Beer Palace, Oslo 31 Okt 11. Kullsort med en anelse rødfarge. Nesten ikke skum. Det lille som er fester seg til glasset. Behagelig røykaroma. Litt sjokolade. Balansert smak. Lakris, sjokolade med en touch av røyk. Avslutter passe bittert & tørt. En koseporter!

Fra fat på Amundsen, Oslo 19 Okt 11. Ekstremt dyprød. Flott kremaktig skum som fester seg til glassveggen og daler sakte. Pent. Aroma? Smak? Til nød merkes litt bitterhet i avslutninga. Like innholdsløs som en makrolager - men penere!
