Draught at the brewpub Deep black body with a lightly brown, creamy head. Excellent looking stout. Strong coffee aroma which is ok, but not complex. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour: somewhat watery mouthfeel. Not bad, but not complex at all.

Draught at the brewpub Clear, deep brown body. Smaal, creamy, lightly brown head. Nice looks. Very interesting, complex aroma of caramel, spices, chocolate malts, white wine, port, alcohol and some smoke: so very complex and also well balanced. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet. Bit tartness from (German) hops and some yeastiness in the finish. Warming mouthfeel. Very nice porter.

On tap at the brewery, half pint. It pours a slightly hazy and pale, golden color. A nice, lasting, creamy, one-finger head. Lacings. Citrusy nose, lemon and grapefruit, with other fruits as well. Malty background, and the typical OMB house character. Fruity flavor with citrus. A bit sweet initially, malty sweetness. Medium body with fine carbonation. Fine bitterness in the dry finish. I see other raters have butchered the beer. I was told by the brewer that they had some line issues, and that I got a new batch. Such problems shouldn’t happen, but I’m glad it was fixed, this one was actually both flavorful and refreshing. (090313)

On tap at the brewpub, half pint. It pours a clear, reddish dark brown body with a nice off-white to beige head leaving lacings. Roasted nose with fruityness and the house signature. Fruity flavor with roasted malts. Some citrus, but quite weak. Low on bitterness. Full-bodied and smooth. Long, medium sweet finish with fruityness. Really pleasant and easy to drink. Moderately hopped, but it’s appropriated. Style? Hard to determine, I guess Mild is as good as anything. (090313)

On tap at the brewpub, half pint. A dark, dark brown beer with a reddish hue. Beautiful, beige to tan head. Lasting dense, creamy head leaving lacings. Smooth, roasted nose with some sugars. Borderline peaty. Chocolate, fruityness and the house character as well. Roasted, mocha flavor with some chocolate. Fruityness in the background. Obvious house character too, but quite subdued. Roasted and hoppy bitterness. Creamy, smooth, dryish mouthfeel. Finishes roasted and dry with some supporting fruityness. I really enjoyed this one, so flavorful and quenching it could go down easily anytime. (090313)

Half pint that took some time to get ready. Almost jet black body under a pretty off-white top head. Moderately aroma of dark malt. Taste of roasted oatmeal, coffee bitterness and grainy chocolate. Smooth bitter endnotes. Well bodied and pleasing (draught at the brewpub in Oslo, 15.03.2009).

Half pint (4.2% abv) that took a long time to pour, perhaps indicating a well crafted brew. It was served with a nice, white eggshell head on top of an amber body with a slight haze, and that left spotty laceworks behind. Modest floral aroma with notes of late fruity tartness. Nice fruity hops in flavour with a good bitter support. A bit thin texture, but it gave me the right kind of UK-bitter feeling (draught at the brewpub in Oslo, 15.03.2009).

Draught, half pint served chilled at the brewpub. Deep mahogany red-tinged body with great lucidity. Fragile laceworks. Weak aroma of noble malts with underlying sweetness. Flavoured with slightly roasted dark, caramel malts added by a tiny touch of sweet, fruit-like candy. Bittersweet ending. Foamy in the mouth. A clean tasting red ale with fine drinkability (Oslo,15.03.2009).

On tap at the brewpub. It’s served slightly hazy and copper-colored. Probably chill-haze, as it seems clear when I finish it. A small off-white head leaves lacings. Fruity in a quite Belgian way, with dried fruits, caramel and more hops than I normally expect from OMB. Caramel, dried fruits, some fresh ones too, a touch of anise and other spices and a fine bitterness. Is it the yeast that gives the spicy flavors? Medium body, creamy and nicely carbonated. Maybe a bit too carbonated, not sure. The finish continues what is found initially, with spices, fruits and a good bitterness. A really pleasant Christmas beer. Almost Belgian-like in a way, bitter, effervescent, slightly spiced and moreish. (081114)

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy deep copper coloured beer, low head. Diacetyl and some vinegar in both aroma and flavour. I did not like it at all. Should never have been for sale - if the brewers want to destroy their own good reputation, this is the way to do it.
