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.

Bottle @ Nødingen Påskekro (from the vintage shelf). Deep amber body under a thin, lacing beige head. Aroma is quite alcoholic, but in a pleasant way. Dark caramel malt, dry fruit, vanilla, Bourbon and wood. Complex taste with sweet malt, toffee, oak, vanilla, Bourbon, balanced bitterness and warming alcohol. Fine body with forever lasting aftertaste. A really nice sipper with several layers of taste.

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.
