Pours dark brown with a smallish tan head. Bags of flavour with notes of prunes, raisins, toffee and chocolate. Delicious, long lasting flavours, which disguise the high ABV very well. Great mouthfeel with a long, lingering aftertaste. A superb beer, very suitable at the end of a cold November evening.

0,33 flaske fra nissens hylle på Helgø Meny Hundvågkrossen, hjemme dagen før avreise til London: klar lys gylden med fint skum som varer lenge i mitt elegante Storm P-glass. Lett krydret anslag og diskret citrus i en slank maltkropp med ok bitterhet, men ikke nok til å få meg i førjulsstemning.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet Sandnes Kvadrat. ABV is 5.5%. Chestnut colour, small off-white head. Aroma of maize / corn and lightly roasted malts. Moderately sweet flavour of corn, mild coffee, chocolate and lightly roasted malts. Clearly drinkable, but not very interesting. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nixtamal Dark Mexican Lager on 07 Nov 2025 at 00:25 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

0,33 butelje fra VO Aker Brygge, hjemme: klar rødlig kastanjefarge med ok skum. Mild duft og ålreit smak med ristet brød, urter, hint av røde bær, mørk sjokolade og brennesle. God bitterhet og maltsmak, dog uten at jeg er fra meg av begeistring. "Greit nok", som en tidligere kollega av meg ville bemerket med sin sedvanlige mangel på entusiasme.
