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.

Medium white head. Amber body. Light fruity honeyish aroma with floral notes. Dry-sweetish fruity strawy taste with grassy resiny hop notes. Mid-bodied. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel. Dry grainy grassy aftertaste with alcohol and flower notes. Bitterness a bit harsh. Quite nice and very drinkable. Girlfriend-approved, too. (0.2l taster at Øl & Mat ’09, Oslo.)

Medium lasting beige head. Deep dark red body with light carbonation. Syrupy fruity wild berry aroma with malty notes. Dry-sweet roasty fruity taste with sharpish dusty edge to it. Fullish body. Quite sweet, loses some freshness and drinkability that way. Dryish chalky resiny wild berry aftertaste. Quite nice. (0.3l draft at the brewpub.)

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).

Settles slowly, taking ages to pour. Big dark brown head looks like whipped cream, lasts forever. Opaque black body goes just barely dark translucent red at edges. Faint, roasty minty aroma. Dry-sour burnt vinegary taste with pine needle notes. Soft, velvety mouthfeel. Can’t analyse any more, because this is horrible, undrinkable muck, due to the infection. Feels like the original beer was quite good, though. Should rerate if there ever is another batch. (0.5l draft at the brewpub,)
