Tap @ Nødingen Påskekro. Clear, deep amber body under a small, fading beige head. Aroma of dark malt, dry red fruit, wood and vinous alcohol. Taste goes in the same direction with sweet, dark malt, red fruits, wood, alcohol and tannin bitterness. Balanced body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. Not too sweet and nice, warming alcohol that’s almost modest in Nøgne Ø scale. Looking forward to taste a slighter more matured version in a few more months’ time.

0,33 flaske fra fjernlageret i Verksgata, hjemme etter 2 uker i Bergen: nesten helt svart med kort bruseskum. Forførerisk aroma og vederkvegende smak med mørke dessertchokolader, hetvin og nytraktet kaffe i en superb maltbase. Jeg lener meg tilbake og nyter øyeblikket og resten av kvelden.

Bottle @ home. Unclear deep amber body under a small, dense tan head. Strong and slightly boozy aroma with malt, wood, dry fruit and whisky. Taste is balanced sweet malt, dry fruit, wood, whisky, warming alcohol and balanced bitterness. Fine body with long lasting aftertaste. Aroma and first sip may feel a bit raw and alcoholic, but it falls into place as the flavours settle in. Nice sipper.
