Christianssand Brygghus 061120. Dark brown color with a beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate. Flavor is dry, roasted malt, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, dried fruits, alcohol. Nice beer.

Tap @ the brewpub. Clear, dark amber body, close to black under a moderate sized, dense, nice lacing beige head. Aroma has dark, smooth roasted malt, chocolate and hint of coffee. Taste is super smooth, dark roasted malt, lots of dark chocolate, some milk chocolate and hint of dark fruit with a balanced, moderate bitterness. Fine balanced body with a long-lasting smooth aftertaste. A really nice, dark roasted malty beer with a very nice chocolate touch. Feels quite sweet at the first sips, but far away from sticky sweet. Just silk smooth and dangerously easy drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. A hazy orange colored beer with a dense, small, white head. Cute lacing. The aroma is of the fruity kind, citrus and tropical fruits. Orange, grapefruit, pine cones and a touch of pale malts. Sort of perfumed. It's medium to full bodied, quite dry and nicely carbonated. Pine cones, grapefruit and a hint of something grassy and perfumed. Pale malts linger in the back. Fruity finish. A pleasant, quenching beer, but I wonder if Sabro needs another hop to support it. 201106

On tap at the brewpub. It pours a small, firm, beige head over a dark brown body. Some lacing. The aroma has lots of roasted malts and dark chocolate, with hints of coffee grit and some dark dried fruit. Some notes of alcohol shine through. It's amazingly light on the palate, smooth and softly carbonated, with a quite dry mouthfeel. The flavor follows the same pattern, with roasted malts and dark chocolate doing most of the work, but supported by dark dried fruits and a light generic fruityness. A light alcohol flavor and warmth is present, but only in a supporting role. The finish is pleasant and tasteful, with all the flavors found initially, and an oat biscuit touch. A really nice one, but be careful drinking it, it slides down very easily. 201106

Tap @ the brewpub. Hazy yellow golden body under a small, but god lacing white head. Aroma is mostly tropical fruit juice with tangerine. Taste is fruity like aroma, i.e. tropical juice with some bitter oranges zest, tangerine and fruity bitterness in general. Not much malt or anything else around here but rather complex hop flavor, especially for a single hop. Light bodied as feels natural and lasting aftertaste. A light and refreshing beer, not much going besides the hops but sure a nice showcase for the sabro hops bringing out the most of it.

Tap @ Patricks. Unclear yellow body under a moderate sized, lacing white head. Mild aroma of acidic fruit, hint of lemonade and a touch of minerals. Refreshing taste of medium acidic fruit, some lemon, minerals and hint of yoghurt. Medium to light bodied with a refreshing slightly acidic aftertaste. Not very complex but a nice refreshing thirst quencher.
