Big offwhite shiny creamy lasting head. Hazy opaque reddish amber body. Earthy resiny citric aroma with dusty grainy notes. Dry-sweet grainy fruity citric taste. Initially doesn’t taste very much, before it all comes with a rush at the end. Sharpish mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. Dry-sweet strong roasty earthy dusty aftertaste with citric resiny fresh wood and tropical fruit notes. Buttery roasty grainy flavour lingers. Lovely! Extremely drinkable, yet has lots of flavour, and great complexity. (0.3l draft at Håndverkerstuene, Oslo.)

750ml bottle, brygg nr. 61, thanks to MrSoul for sharing. Frothy, white head that left spotty lacing behind. Hazy, golden-orange body colour. Aromas of spiced fruits with a note of honey sweetness. Sweet fruity hops in flavour offset by spices and yeasty fruitiness. Tingling alcohol to a smooth mouthfeel. Well built (on the opening of MrSouls beer cellar, Tromsø 01.06.2011).

0.75l bottle @ Naboen, Bergen shared with ClubGonzo. The Manna pours a deep brown/dark mahogany body with a nice beige creamy head. Light roasted aroma with chocolate hints. Also light acidic, and malty. It has a light creamy to watery mouthfeeling and it's average carbonated. Flavors are not extreme in any way but nice and malty with a slightly floral touch, and there is definitely some hops in here but in a subtle way. It ends quite dry and medium bitter. All in all this is a really nice mild ale. Can't say I'm surprised cause Kinn has really taken a step up and is about to become one of the best breweries from Norway.

On tap @ Naboen, Bergen. Dark, with a reddish hue, and a thick, airy head. Hoppy aroma with solid notes of pine, resin and citrus, and some hints of blackcurrants and flowers. Bitter hoppy flavour, with orange peel, resin and an unexpected hint of strawberries. Finish is bitter grapefruit.

Bottle. A big, collapsing, dense, beige head sits on top of a reddish dark brown body. Lacings left as the beer is drank. Roasted and burnt coffee-like aroma, nice but a bit one tracked. Dry, medium bodied and quite smooth in the mouth, with coffee, some chocolate and a roasted like bitterness in the end. A pleasant beer indeed, but it lacks depth. That’s sort of ok in a dry stout, but still... Far from bad in any way. 110204

Bottle. A big, off-white to beige head leaves lacings as the clear, brown beer finds its way from the glass to my mouth. It’s smooth and quite dry on the palate, with some residual sweetness. The dominant flavor is coffee and roasted malts, leading to a coffee-bitter finish with some fruity hints. Aroma wise is nutty, with prunes and a solid roasted, coffee-like smell. Overall, a nice one, sure living up to its name. Gonna have more of this for sure. 110204

Bottle. It pours an unclear, muddy amber body and a two-finger off-white head. Weak malty and fruity aroma with yeasty notes. Fruity flavor with pale malts and a hint of cellar, bitter and biscuity finish. Smooth and medium bodied. Although a bit boring, it’s a quite nice beer that drinks easily and has some quenching qualities. 110204

Big offwhite coarseish head. Deep yellow slightly hazy body with strong carbonation. Fruity freshly cut wood aroma with herbal spicy notes. Dry-sweet herbal dried fruit taste with mealy spicy notes. Mid-to-light body. Mild mouthfeel. Dry-sweetish dried fruit and peppery herbal aftertaste with honey, coriander and cardamom notes. Lovely! Soft, drinkable, and full of flavour.

Big offwhite head. Hazy pale amber body with strong fast carbonation. Earthy resin and freshly sawn wood aroma with herbal Belgian yeast notes. Dry-sweet earthy herbal grassy taste with dusty resiny notes. Light body. Meal mildly fizzy mouthfeel. Fresh, clean palate. Excellent harmony and balance. Dry grainy herbal resiny aftertaste with buttery dusty notes. Excellent! Highly drinkable. A lovely beer, but Málstefna was better. (0.75l bottle, wine monopoly.)
