On tap at the brewpub. Despite the name, this is not a stout, nor was it intended to be. The brewer says it’s "more like a porter", and I won’t protest to that - but I wouldn’t protest if someone called it a "dark mild" or even a "fairly dark brown ale" either. Dark reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Nice aroma and flavour with mild roasty notes, hints of mild coffee and chocolate. Flavour of caramel malts too.

On tap at the brewpub. This was the brewpub’s first beer, brewed with the intention "to please everybody", according to the brewer, Olav H. Helleland. Amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of toffee. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour has notes of caramel and toffee. Very moderate hops.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy pale golden colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of cloves and bananas. The flavour has also notes of cloves and bananas, but could use a bit more citrussy freshness. I drank it a tad too warm though.

On tap at the brewpub. The brewer calls this an IPA, but it tastes more like a modern English Golden Ale or Bitter. Golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate but nice hoppy aroma, citrussy notes. Pleasant flavour, refreshing, moderate but nice bitterness.
