Tap at Valhalla Prague. Hazy amber-brownish body, thick off-white to beige head. Caramelly aroma, bit nutty. Smooth malty taste, caramelly, nutty, rye bread, ending lean, dry, bit herbal and bitterish. Nice really!

Bottle at home. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, roasty a bit, liquor, alcohol, raisins, booze, sweetish, a bit bitter. Overall quite harsh. Even the one bottle is tough.

Dark brown body under a small beige head. Aroma of dark roasted malt, dry fruit, chocolate and warming alcohol. Taste is sweet, dark roasted malt, chocolate, dry fruit, balanced bitterness and alcohol. Fine body and long lasting, warming aftertaste. It’s rather boozy when fresh but this is really a beer for some cellaring to round off the alcohol sting. 1-2 years makes wonders with this beer.

It’s Ok as a ginger juice. Not too sweet and not too much spices. Refreshing and well balanced as the labels tells.

0,75 flaske (nr. 2013 av 2200), delt med The Supreme Commander på bursdagen hennes: lett uklar gylden med kort bruseskum. Nydelig, kompleks aroma og smak med citrus (særlig lime og søt citron), aprikoser og grønne druer. Muligens også litt hvitvinsbalsamico. Slank, elegant og en fornøyelse fra første møte. Gratulanten er også sprudlende fornøyd.

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle @ the brewery. Clear, pale yellow golden body with no head. Aroma is citric fruit, rice, fruity yeast and some alcohol. Flavor has lots of citric fruit, a hint of ripe fruit, rice and warming alcohol. Well balanced body and refreshing aftertaste with some alcohol. This one has the distinct Nøgne sake signature, but rather bold with quite much citric fruit and strong in alcohol without any lack of smoothness or balance. It simply very nice indeed and quite refreshing, but might give a slighter rough impression for the less experienced sake drinker.

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle. Clear yellow golden body without any head. Quite strong in aroma, ripe apple and pear with sake yeast, rise and a hint of plum in the background. The flavor is definitively sake but at the same time totally different to any other sake I have tasted. Quite sweet, apple, pear and rise like expected from aroma, umami and something toffee or caramel like in the background. Tried to pare this with different kind of food, but that’s difficult. My experience was definitively not fish, nor anything salt, difficult to find the right cheese as well, something sweet and fat seems to be the best but did not have any chocolate in the house. Totally unique experience for me and highly enjoyable.

From my sake backlog. On tap and bottled (rating is a compartment of several tastings) . Clear, very pale-yellow body with no head and sparkling carbonation. Aroma is quite distinct Sake with rice, yeast and mild fruit like apple and some citric. Flavor is refreshing citric fruity, hint of grapes, mild rice and yeast. Medium body and average aftertaste. This is a light and refreshing sake that’s probably a nice start for somebody that not familiar with the style. The aroma is quite distinct sake, but the flavor feels a bit like a refreshing white wine. But compared with a white wine side by side there is a big difference, then the Sake flavor becomes more distinct with less fruitiness and more rice/yest flavor. The balance between sweet and light acidity works well and the touch of alcohol feels just right. Delicate and nice.

From my sake backlog. 350 ml bottle at Nøgne ؘ Christmas party 2013. Clear, close to water in color with no head of course. A bit oily texture, looks quite attractive. Aroma is relatively strong citric fruit, hint of star fruit and rice. Flavor is sweet fruity, fruity acidic, hint of yeast, rice and almond with a certain touch of nice warming alcohol. Smooth body and sweet and refreshing acidic aftertaste. Well balanced and slightly fruitier than the other Sakes from Nøgne as far as I remember. Easy to drink, mild in esters, should not scare anyone away from tasting Sake this one.
