Tap @ Både &, Kristiansand. Unclear brown body with a small tan head. Aroma has caramel, bread, toast and a hint of licorices. Nice, sweet and balanced flavor, sweet malt, dry fruit, toast, some caramel, moderate bitterness, Christmas spices and distinct licorices. Fine body and long lasting, smooth aftertaste of dry fruit, caramel and licorices. Very smooth and pleasant.

Tap @ Både &, Kristiansand. Black body with a small beige head. Aroma is dark malt, chocolate, vinous, wood, red berries and light roasted. Flavor was a big surprise for the low ABV, rather rich first impression with mild roasted dark malt, chocolate, lots of red berries, dry fruit, wood and slightly vinous almost a little funky. A little hint of Rodenbach actually. After a few more sips the whole thing feels a bit thinner and lighter, but still a very nice flavor. Might call it a session barrel aged stout? Love it. The bartender told me this one has changed a lot over a weeks time, so this might have been less berries/fruity and funk if tasted a week or two ago.

Bottle from Craft Beer Kontor, Hannover. Black with a beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, coffee and dark chocolate. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 080325

May 2015: Kinn Humlehaud India-Øl, 75 cl flaske, 4,7%:

Med nyheten Humlehaud fra Kinn Bryggeri i Florø får "humlehodene" våre en såkalt "session IPA" i norsk butikkstyrke til å kose seg med på dager hvor man ikke vil ha overvettes mange "prosenter" innenfor vesten, men likevel vil ha et øl med solid humlesmak. Humlehaud er i prinsippet en nedskalert versjon av bryggeriets bestselger i "polklassen", Vestkyst.
Uklar oransje til brun farge på ølet, moderat hvitt skum.
Sterk og frisk aroma av amerikansk humle, med toner av grapefrukt og furu.
Nokså lett i kroppen, men bra til å være et øl på 4,7%. Middels tørr smak, velhumlet gjennom det hele, sterke toner av furunål, også grapefrukt. Meget drikkelig!

750 ml bottle, from Heinemann taxfree, Stavanger Airport Sola. Gluten free, according to the rear label. ABV is 7.0%. Golden brown to amber colour, moderate off-white head. Aroma of caramel, brown kandij sugar syrup and mild spices, an unpleasant hint of solvent. Malty and fairly sweet flavour, again with notes of caramel, brown kandij sugar and mild spices, hints of hops in the finish.
