Des arômes bien maltés avec accents boisés, des noisettes et du pain grillé.
Un très léger fond caramélisé aux allures de cassonnade y fait acte de présence.
Les houblons y sont cependant peu représentés aux arômes.
Le liquide est brun foncé avec reflets rubis et parfaitement limpide.
La mousse est épaisse, assez dense et persistante.
Les houblons ressortent beaucoup plus en bouche qu’au nez avec des saveurs tropicales et de conifères assez présents.
Le malt est encore bien représenté par des saveurs de boisé et de noisettes qui assurent un équilibre avec la finale houblonnée.
Il subsiste une légère acidité dont la provenance m’est tout à fait inconnue.
En entrée de bouche, les houblons sont fruités avec des accents tropicaux et citriques, notamment des notes d’orange.
Mais en finale, l’amertume terreuse (accentuée par le caractère grillé de noisettes) et résineuse prend toute sa place.
Excellente Brown Ale Américaine maltée et amère.
Bien appréciée !

Shared can at Mandag i Annen. ABV is 6.9%. Mahogany colour, small head. Both aroma and flavour have a good malt character, but there are also some unwanted hints of lacquer. Too high fermentation temperature? Low bitterness, as expected from the style.

A pure white head on a yellow/gold body. Citrus, wheat and a touch of sour on the nose. Taste leads with a mix of citrus and other fruit notes - lemon, orange, melon and cantaloupe. Well spiced with a roasted grain base.

An energetic off white head on a deep brown body. Nose is chocolate, roasted nuts, coffee and malt. Very clean, brown ale first taste. Ground nuts, milk chocolate, mild coffee and some caramel create a nice understated taste profile. Body is appropriate for a 4.5% ale. Tasty and balanced.

At last a wee heavy beer a really like.
Pleasant and balanced. Not cloying sweet.
Toffee, dried fruits and a bit nutty

Consumed on Day 4 of the Verendrye route. Drunk far too tepid due to warm lake temperatures. Dark brown. Foamy light brown head. Coffee and coffee grounds aroma. Taste is bittersweet with a bitter coffee grounds finish. Straightforward coffee stout lacking much in the way of nuance.

473ml can, 6.9 % abv, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. A sready beige head leaving rich lacing on the glass, next-to-clear copper coloured body. Inviting aromas of toffee and dried fruits. Quite solid taste character of toffee and caramel, added by figs and raisin. Caramel malty finish, hints of fruits as well, mid-sweet. Mouthfilling. Like it. (Tromsø, 23.08.2025).
