Tap @ Naboen, Bergen. Pours a dark brown, almost black body with a big, beige, lasting, creamy nitro-head. Nose is liquorish, chocolate, almost nutty and some mocca. I first get strongly roasted malts and lots of chocolate, then in end it unfortunate falls a bit through and get a almost wattery finish. This is typically a dry stout - only a bit better. Medium to thin bodied, quite low carbonation. Lots of roasted malts and a medium hopy, almost sweet and silky ending. I definitely want more of this!

330ml on tap at Håndverkerstuene. Fawn coloured head atop of a dark-brown body, partly cloudy. Smell of chocolate malts added by fruity hops. More cocoa than chocolate in the taste character that also promotes Christmas spices like cinnamon. Smooth bittering chocolate to the ending. Pleasant and more than satisfying (Oslo, 10.01.2011).

In friendly company together with KnutAlbert and OleR at Tilt in Oslo where we ordered one glass each of Austkyst, poured from tap. Cloudy, off-white head leaving fragile lacing behind. Apricot coloured body. Moderate aroma with floweriness of hops and dried fruits. Citric shells along with herbal hops and sweet malts in flavour. Dry, hop bitter ending that lasted all the way to the next stop at Håndverkerstuene (Oslo, 10.01.2011).

Bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. Brew #48. ABV 4.7%. Cloudy brown colour, moderate beige head. The aroma has notes reminiscent of juniper wood and tobacco. Decent hoppy flavour, resinous notes, hints of wood and tobacco, on a sufficient malty base. A nice steam beer!

750 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a big foamy off-white head. Mild and clean aroma of malt and citric fruit, quite subdue but nice. Flavor has a dry biscuit maltiness with just a hint of fruit and moderate bitterness. A light and easy beer, still in a perfect balance and incredible quaffable. Definitivly british style. Like this a lot even as this is not reflected by the score, but that’s the nature of Ratebeer.

On tap at Håndverkerstuene. It pours a hazy, golden-orange body with very low carbonation and head. It’s piney and resiny on the nose with some sweet maltyness in the back. Apricot and a hint of alcohol blends in. A nice malty sweetness makes a base for the fine resiny bitterness that lasts and lasts. Full body, and mostly dry, finishing bitter. Although it’s full-bodied, it feels a bit watery in a way, but it’s a damn fine IPA anyway. 100820

750ml bottle, brygg nr. 34, airborne from Fenaknoken in Oslo to Tromsø. Fluffy, white head over a cloudy, golden body. Semi-sweet, dusty hops to the nose with mild spices. Fruity hops in flavour developing into a rather discreet finish of pine bitterness. Mild and soft in the mouth. Refreshing and drying palate.

750ml bottle, brygg nr. 36, from Fenaknoken in Oslo. Deep oily pour revealing a beige-brownish, patchy surface to a jet black body. Roasted aroma of earthy malts with hints of chocolate. Roasted malts and ashy hops in flavour. Velvetly smooth on the swallow. Well made. Enjoyed at a romjuls party in Tromsø, 28.12.2010.

750ml bottle, brygg nr.42, from Fenaknoken. Light brown head that stayed well and left spotty lacing to the glass. Partly cloudy, dark-brown body. Aroma displays chocolate and caramel malts. Fine blended taste of brown malts, raisin hints and dusty hops. Rounded bitter sweet tail. Medium bodied. Pity that it is not more widely distributed in Norway. Would have been perfect with our traditional Yuletide food. (at my hotel room in Oslo, 25.11.2010).

750 ml bottle, kindly shared by gunnar. Dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Fairly nice aroma, moderately spicy notes, also notes of brown malts and leather. Flavour of brown malts and brown sugar (without being very sweet), moderate hops. An okay brown ale!
