6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
An unclear dark orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet spicy - with coriander being most dominant. The flavor is sweet malty with a strong spicyness again especially coriander, but there also a light note of alcohol, before a dry hoppy end sets in. Quite nice for a Saison, but not my favorite style.

Launched in May at Vinmonopolet in Norway. 500ml bottle. Pours a hazy orangish colour topped with a dense white head. Fresh fruity nose with notes of wheat and banana. The aroma also have a slightly oily character. Very well balanced. Blend of flavours in a hybrid and complex brew. Citrusy fruitiness combined with hints of ginger, yeast and spicy herbs. Gentle dry hopped end. Fresh summer taste and very moreish. Think I need more than one bottle to spot all the different flavours.

Hazy amber color; big head. The aroma is ordinary, with a light but sharp touch of baking yeast. The taste has some malt, a strong pleasant bitterness, playing with good caramel and toffee. Enjoyable.

Hazy amber color. One of the most interesting Scandinavian påsköl; still simple, but with a light hop aroma, some malt taste, high bitterness, toffee hoppiness.

500ml bottle. Deep, dark mahogany colour with nice reddish head. Very rich appealing aroma of malt, caramel and grass. Flavour is also very rich and warm. Plenty of malt with a balanced element of roast, hops, nuts, coffee and dried prunes. A long pleasant finish with a warming hint of alcohol. A fabulous beer.

500 ml bottle conditioned, courtesy of Cardinal, Stavanger (Norway’s best beer bar, untill someone proves me wrong, see Places section). Sampled side-by-side with its "sister brew", Nørrebro Bryghus Double Knot Brown Ale (pasteurised and unfiltered keg, see separate rating). ABV is 7.5%, 19 degrees Plato, 40 IBU. Very dark brown colour, moderate head. Darker than Nørrebro DKBA. Lovely malty aroma with plenty of aromatic hops, notes of chocolate and leather too. Rich and roasty flavour, plenty of malts and oak. Roasty long aftertaste. Excellent beer!

Bottled. The brewers at Nøgne Ø made a guestbrew at Nørrebro Bryghus, and when they got home, they made their own version of it. This is the very good result. It is dark reddish-brown with a dense, tan head. The nose is light roasted, caramel, malt, hops and some alcohol. It has a light burnt fruitiness in the flavor, along with nuts, dried fruit, alcohol, coffee and chocolate. Medium to full bodied, and a finish with some alcohol and a dry, roasted coffee-like touch. A nice and balanced beer. (060406)

This was of course the right ale to pick for celebrating myself being a 100 beer club member. The ale - the most expensive in Norway - turned out to be one of the best I have rated so far. 500ml bottle from june 05.(bb.03.06.2008). Pours a dark ruby colour topped by a gradually diminishing off-white head leaving some filigranes on the glass. Bursts of strong fruity and hoppy aromas. The flavour is exploding in the mouth revealing a full bodied brew with aggressive spicery. This is a very complex ale with a good dose of anise, malts, dark fruit and a hint of yeast. The aftertase has a lingering herbal bitterness. The beer is extremely powerful - somewhat over the top. Only one bottle each year! (29.04.2006)
